Four artwork images of the 325th FG "Checkertail Clan" in action

You may have seen the original "No Room for Error" image of Art Fiedler's Ace-making victory, but it's been reworked after the damage was too extensive in the original. Art put me straight on that and now we are both happy with it.

The next image is Jack Sherburne's attack on a 109, which broke away and escaped after suffering significant damage.

Following that is one of Jerry Edward's victory's during their famous raid on July 30th 1944, in Udine, Italy.

The final image is Frank Mertely's attack on a Locomotive which almost had disastrous results, for him and his wingman.

The pilots have all had a copy of the Artwork and all have been happy. As a foot-note, the image you see in the bottom-left of each artwork is a hand-coloured Black and White image, which although time-consuming, I feel adds to the piece.










Cheers, MP.

Hello Mysticpuma -
I am working with the historian at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida (where the modern-day Checkertail Clan is based) to find Checkertail artwork to redecorate the Wing headquarters building there.
We found these four amazing images you posted and would like to know if they have been printed, if they are available, how much, etc.
Thanks.
Judine
