About the Relic & Process

This original 1940s oil tank, once a vital component of the legendary Lockheed P-38 Lightning, was recovered in 2020 from an aircraft hangar in Los Angeles, California. Alongside other surplus and unrestorable parts, this tank serves as a tangible reminder of the aircraft’s historical significance. The P-38 was a crucial element of the Allied air forces during World War II, renowned for its speed, versatility, and long-range capabilities. As a multi-role fighter, the P-38 was involved in dogfights, bombing missions, and reconnaissance efforts throughout the war.P-38 Lightning relic included in the "Operation Vengeance" limited edition print

Although unrestored, these components retain the essence of the countless missions flown and the dedicated men who serviced and flew them. Each piece, even after decades of dormancy, speaks to the resilience and ingenuity of the wartime efforts.Operation Vengeance - P-38 Lightning Aviation Art-Art Print-Aces In Action: The Workshop of Artist Craig TinderRelic fragment included with each canvas art piece
