Sabrejet Posted March 7, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 7, 2012 I came upon this whilst surfing eBay/UK and given the current high profile of "Red Tails" and the Tuskegee airmen, I thought it might be of interest to someone our there in forum-land? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300432968112?ru=...i%3D1&_rdc= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVSkelton Posted March 7, 2012 Share #2 Posted March 7, 2012 Nice print, Ian. Thanks for posting it! I was honored to meet Lt. Col. Leo Gray at the SOS this year. He was seated beside Lt. Col. James Warren, who I also talked to. I thought it was interesting that Lt. Col. Gray made it a point to tell me that "All Red Tails were Tuskegee Airmen, but not all Tuskegee Airmen are Red Tails!" Of course, Lt. Col. Warren was not a Red Tail but was a Tuskegee Airman navigator/bombardier involved in the Freeman Field Mutiny. Warren also served in Korea and Vietnam. It was great to meet them and the other vets at the SOS! Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobrahistorian Posted March 7, 2012 Share #4 Posted March 7, 2012 Very cool, Ian! (and thanks for that other link, I'm watching it now) My 3 year old son has an Ernie Boyette print of Lee Archer's "Ina the Macon Belle" hanging in his room that Colonel Archer personally signed for me. It's one of my favorite pieces. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted March 7, 2012 Roger that Jon! :thumbsup: BTW...you will have noticed that the seller wrongly describes it as a "P-41"!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagg Posted March 8, 2012 Share #6 Posted March 8, 2012 Ian, I had the pleasure of meeting one of these Tuskegee Flyers about three or four years ago at a CMA Airshow in California. Quite an impresssive bunch of Flyers. The new movie that came out about the Tuskegee Airmen a couple months back is worth seeing. If all is 100% on that picture, it should sell for a good some of $$. But I'm sure you would have to have all the signatures authenticated first. :think: Sal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for that print, it's being sold by a major antiques business based in Portsmouth navy yard, so I wouldn't have thought provenance would be a problem as they have their reputation to consider!

Ya, I guess your right about that. Buy the way, when they set a date to release the movie go and see it. You'll enjoy it as I did. Sal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History Man Posted March 8, 2012 Share #9 Posted March 8, 2012 My dad and I were going to go see it but missed it by a day :pinch: I heard it was a great movie so I will have to rent it when it comes out. Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
