-
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a signed print of “Return to Halesworth” by Gil Cohen, signed at the bottom by Bud Mahurin and Robert S. Johnson. Mahurin was the first American fighter pilot to reach over twenty air-to-air combat victories. This is a limited run print, number 121 out of 1000.
From a London Newspaper, March 7th, 1944:
America's two leading fighter aces in the European Theater scored their 17th victories over Berlin yesterday. They are Capt Walker Mahurin, Ft. Wayne, Ind and Lt. Robert Johnson, Lawton, Okla.
From a London Newspaper, March 9th, 1944:
Capt. Walker Mahurin, a Thunderbolt fighter pilot from Fort Wayne, Ind., emerged from Wednesday's air battle over Germany as the leading American ace of the European theater. He destroyed three German planes to raise his total of victories to 20, six short of the war's record held jointly by Maj. Joseph J Foss and the late Maj. Gregory Boyington, each of whom set his mark in the southwest Pacific. Mahurin was pressed for his lead by Lieut. Robert Johnson of Lawton, Okla., who bagged two Wednesday to reach a total of 19.
The print depicts the two men meeting after Mahurin’s 20th Combat victory. The frame is missing the glass entirely, and there is a set of Sterling pilot’s wings attached to the frame as shown.
The frame measures 26¼ x 39¾” and could use some glass, but it would probably display fine without. Ready to display.
