rtepak6 Posted July 29, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 29, 2014 Here's one I thought you guys might be interested in seeing. After the McDonnell-Douglas merger, the company put out a series of nice quality prints highlighting some of the aircraft they produced (there were even a few spacecraft included). These are usually relatively inexpensive and show up on eBay from time-to-time. I took the A-4 Skyhawk litho and had it signed by three USN pilots who flew the diminutive A-4 and were POWs from ’67 to ‘73: Capt. Dave Carey, USN (Ret.), Capt. John McGrath, USN (Ret.), and Capt. Dick Stratton, USN (Ret.). Kind of a neat way to honor their service. Dale Link to post Share on other sites
rtepak6 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted July 30, 2014 And I stand corrected - just found that I have one for the USAF Phantom II which reads, "Designed and built by MCDONNELL, St. Louis for the United States Air Force." I guess they originally printed a set of McDonnell specific aircraft prior to the 1967 merger, and another afterwards incorporating the Douglas aircraft. Dale Link to post Share on other sites

rtepak6 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks! It's been a few years since I worked on that one, but I'm pretty sure I was able to locate them via Internet searches. Dale Link to post Share on other sites
