The Ride Back Limited Edition Sam Lyons Print
The Vietnam War irrevocably affected the lives of a generation of the world’s citizens, and with The Ride Back, artist Sam Lyons honors those who sacrificed so much in the conflict. The 17″ x 25″ illustration offers viewers an up-close glimpse at a mainstay vehicle of ‘Nam, the Bell UH-1 Iroquois (aka “Huey”) helicopter, as seen from the up-close vantage point of a formation rotorcraft. Vietnam veterans will know the Huey’s features well, and most will undoubtedly tell you that Lyons has done an exceptional job of accurately depicting the US Army helo. Other powerful features of the picture are the visible contents of the formation craft, including the helmets of a few brothers in arms as well as their weaponry. So stirring are these visual elements that you almost feel as if you’re right there with them.

Both versions are printed on acid-free paper, utilize first-rate permanent inks, and include a Certificate of Authenticity. An emotional homage to the valor of Vietnam’s veterans that’s guaranteed to command respect from observers of every generation.
