Bought this for my girlfriend's 50th birthday gift. She LOVES it, both the print and the metal that it is printed on. This is the second art gift I have sent from Fine Art, and both recipients have been super pleased.

This print was a goodbye gift to one of my guards and was excellent quality. Order processing was very easy and the image arrived in good time before my player departed for the US. Excellent service and quality guys, thank you. Cheers Mic

My brother was the astronaut who shot this photo on the STS 58 mission; since he was photographing on behalf of NASA, his name is not directly linked to the photo. He was passionate about mountains, to include climbing. He was featured in National Geographic, noting that their map of Everest allowed him to specifically identify that he had captured the view of K2. It is a nice piece of art in its own right, but the backstory is meaningful to our family and we are glad we could acquire this art. We have bought both an acrylic version and a metal version; both are great mediums for this specific photo.

June 12, 1942, South of Guilin, China
This was the first encounter by the AVG with the Japanese Ki-45 Toryu "Nick" fighter, which was mistakenly identified as a light bomber.
From the book Flying Tigers by Dan Ford: Burgard set up a patrol to the south of Guilin, in which work he was joined by 2nd Lieutenant Romney Masters in what seems to have been the first combat action for the 23rd Fighter Group. Spotting a Nate and a Ki-45 Toryu, Burgard went after the fixed-gear fighter and left the young army officer to take care of what seemed the easier target. The Nate wriggled out of the way, however, so Burgard, too, made a run on the twin-engine plane. "The bomber was light, fast, and exceptionally maneuverable," he reported. "He dove sharply for the ground and made a sharp turn." Then the Nate returned, put a shot through the Tomahawk's le...

Spectacular, Robert! Thank you for the story behind the image - really makes it come to life. And as Roger noted, the selective blurring is superb. Side note: one of my horses flew from Seattle to JFK on Flying Tigers back in the late 70s.
