Publisher' Proof Edition - Limited to just 50 Prints World Wide Limited edition aviation art print Avenging Strike by ROBERT BAILEY and signed in pencil by a total of eight (8) Doolittle Raiders: RICHARD E. COLE, DAVID M. JONES, RICHARD A. KNOBLOCH, JAMES HERBERT MACIA, Jr., JOSEPH W. MANSKE, HARRY C. McCOOL, CHARLES JOHN OZUK, and HENRY A. POTTER. This is a Publisher's Proof Edition black and white print from a pencil sketch shows the April 18, 1942 take-off of a B-25 from the deck of the U.S.S. Hornet. The Doolittle Raid was the U.S. Army Air Force response to President Roosevelt’s desire to show America could strike back at the enemy despite a series of setbacks in the Pacific Theatre of Operations. Along with the legendary Dambuster Raid (Operation Chastise) this aerial combat action ranks as one of the most audacious of World War II and launched the war-time career of General J.H. “Jimmy” Doolittle into prominence. The photo does not do this print justice. This print is now SOLD OUT at the publisher and becoming hard to source on the secondary market. Sadly, there will be few opportunities in the future to obtain multi-signed Doolittle Raider prints - in our view there is no comparable print at the price point. Compare similarly signed prints, and you will find that this edition is sharply priced given the signatures and economical to frame at an overall print size of approximately 26 by 21 inches. The Publisher's Proof Edition of Avenging Strike was limited to just 50 prints. There is a COA and a biographical sheet provided by artist Robert Bailey included. Print condition is excellent, never framed, and stored flat in acid-free materials. Please e-mail with questions prior to auction close; we are happy to provide additional information.
