Birth of a Legend - Stan Stokes Art Print

Stan Stokes. Print depicts Colin Kelly's B-17 under heavy attack from Zero fighters led by the ranking Japanese ace, Saburo Sakai. As Kelly piloted the crippled aircraft back to the Philippines, he ordered his crew to bail out, and his attempt to crash-land the B-17 failed, killing him. His dramatic effort, combined with his earlier bombing of a Japanese ship, made him one of the war's first heroes. This 16"x 11½" print is signed by the artist.
