Description: "It is the last year of the war, and one of Colonel Glen W. Martins fleet of B-29s, punnily named Dina Might, surges over the clouds during its mission to bomb the industrial cities of Japan. But it is more than just the remembrance of a vital war effort. This is not a portrayal of a particular mission. Rather is an homage to the Superfortress. "Fifty Miles Out could mean from home after the bombing raid, or fifty miles out from target. Theres a sense of majesty and exhilaration, but theres a sense of urgency too. Because coming back, they would be setting up to land, with possibly wounded on board. And also fifty miles out from target, there would be a sense of anticipation and some anxiety about flack and fighter coverage. I left the background planes without names. The angle I wanted on them was so that the wing and engine details would block any numbers on the airplane. And I didnt put anything on the nose, because I wanted the people in that unit to be able to feel that one of those might have been their airplane. They could point proudly at either of the two background planes and say, Thats my airplane." - William Phillips Brand-New in Mint Condition Hand-Signed by William Phillips Paper Lithograph Edition Size: 1000 S/N Image Size: 21 1/8 X 32 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ArtUSA is One of the World's Largest Fine Art Dealers Authorized Dealer for all Major Art Publishers All Works are Guaranteed Authentic New Releases & Rare Sold-Out Editions Contact us with any questions -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
