About the Relic & Process

This relic originates from the second prototype of the B-1A Lancer, serial number 74-0159. On 29 August 1984, during flight testing at the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, a critical issue developed that led to a tragic crash. While conducting tests, the aircraft experienced an aft center of gravity situation that caused the nose to pitch up uncontrollably. The flight crew attempted to recover the aircraft, but it became irretrievable, leading to a crash 22 miles northeast of the base.Fragments of the B-1 Lancer used as relics in "The Bone" limited edition prints

These relics from the crash site have never been part of the broader collector's market and were sourced directly from the location by the G. Frazier collection. The B-1A Lancer program played a key role in the development of supersonic strategic bombers, with the B-1A evolving into the more widely known B-1B, which became a critical asset for the U.S. Air Force in the following decades. This piece of aviation history is a reminder of the risks taken during the advancement of military aviation technology.Fragments of the B-1 Lancer used as relics in "The Bone" limited edition prints
