Description
Fames Favored Few Limited Edition Sam Lyons Print
While we’ve all seen powerful photographs that perfectly capture the gravity of momentous historical events, very few illustrations are able to pull off that same emotional effect as well as Sam Lyons’ Fames Favored Few. Through his ingenious use of expertly applied inks, Lyons treats viewers to a first-person peek at a commanding B-17G Flying Fortress on a rugged, unpaved surface. Also adding to the realism of the imagery is a second B-17 farther down the flightline, as well as the fog-capped peaks in the background. Furthermore, the degree of detail depicted in the star aircraft – which flew during the last combat mission of WWII – is simply astounding. This picture is available as both a 19″ x 30″ Artist Proof (limited to 50) and a signed & numbered Limited Edition print (limited to 600). Both versions are printed on acid-free paper, utilize first-rate permanent inks, and include a Certificate of Authenticity. The prints are also co-signed by William Ford, who served as navigator with the 92nd Bomber Group of 8th Air Force. An eye-opening trip back in time that’s so real, you’ll swear you were there.
