Mysticpuma Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 "Come up and Fight" by Gareth Hector The fight was days in the making. When Pappy Boyington flew over the airfield at Kahili earlier that week, a Japanese-accented voice radioed: “Major Boyington, what is your position?” “Right over your damn airport,” he replied, “Come up and fight!” But no enemy answered. This day was different. With his Black Sheep in tow, Pappy issued the challenge again: “Come on up and fight, you yellow bastards!” And this time, the Japanese sent their answer, launching some fifteen aircraft. The ensuing air battle would end with the Japanese fleeing, the Black Sheep victorious, and a new page written in the legend of Pappy Boyington.

Boba Fett Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Thanks for updating with the artists' names fellas. This is the first aviation art print I ever purchased. It's awe inspiring in full resolution, as we know what is about to transpire. It sits in a place of honor, directly above my cockpit simulator.

Mysticpuma Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 "The Victors" by Matt Hall “Early December, 1942: a year after Pearl Harbor, U.S. Marine survivors of Guadalcanal swap hard-won war trophies after five brutal months of fighting. These teenagers-turned-veterans had endured savage bombardment by air and sea. They had weathered disease and near starvation. Ultimately, they had gone eyeball to eyeball with a seasoned foe and bested them in combat, giving America her first major land victory of WWII. Now, as the 5th Marine Regiment departs, the Marines of the 1st Regiment await their chance to say goodbye to Guadalcanal. They would leave as victors, the Marines who gave a shaken nation new hope.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
