Description: "WINGMEN TO THE END" by Nicolas Trudgian December 3, 1950: Ens. Jesse Brown and Lt. Tom Hudner respond to a call for close air support from the Marines below. In temperatures as low as -20 degrees, 30,000 Marines and Army soldiers fight against an encirclement of 120,000 Chinese troops. The pilots have flown through snow squalls and dodged mountain peaks to make their attacks, and ultimately, they'll buy time for friendly forces to break out from the trap. The next day, Brown would be shot down and Hudner would crash-land to try to save his friend. Although Hudner's attempt would fall short and Brown would give his life, their heroism as wingmen would echo for eternity. AUTOGRAPHS: Hand-signed by VF-32 Corsair pilot Captain Thomas J. Hudner, Jr. (Medal of Honor), 1st Marine Division hero & Chosin Reservoir veteran John "Red" Parkinson (Silver Star), and artist Gareth Hector. EDITION: Victory Edition of 300 limited-edition prints. Includes signed Certificate of Authenticity. SIZE: Overall: 32" x 22.5" Image: 28" x 16.5" SHIPPING: Ships rolled in a tube with full insurance. WHY BUY FROM VALOR STUDIOS? EXPERIENCE /// Since 1999 we've been creating the world's finest hand-autographed military art and collectibles.

THE REAL DEAL /// Unlike so many autographs we see on EBay, ours are hand-signed and we have the photos to prove it. Combine that with a reputation of being America's leader in military art publishing and you can shop with complete peace of mind. HONESTY /// Our veteran signers know the items they are autographing are for commercial purposes and they're paid generously for their efforts. We're proud to say that some of our veteran friends have been signing with us for 15+ years! QUALITY /// All the products we sell on Ebay are new and guaranteed in mint condition. They are printed on museum grade papers with archival inks and with proper care (utilizing archival-grade storage methods) will last longer than any of us. VALUE /// All our veteran signed items are limited in number. Once they sell out there is no creating more and as a result we often see our products appreciate in value. FAMILY /// We're a small family business based in southern Florida, we have New York Times bestselling author Adam Makos (Devotion, A Higher Call & Spearhead) as our company president, his brother Bryan is our art director, and their sister Erica, our sales manager.
