Details About the RELIC:

This is an actual fragment of aluminum from the cowl flap of C-47 S/N 41-7723. This aircraft was built in February 1942 and served in WWII. The aircraft later served with the Minnesota Air National Guard and Davis Montham Air Force Base. Each fragment is cut from a larger cowl flap panel and still retains some paint, rivets, and grime.

Fine Art Paper Print (Options C & D) - Relic Not Included:

Each Fine Art Print is printed on archival presentation-quality, 260 GSM / 10 Mil, photographic paper created using the highest quality inks and archival techniques. Photographs do not do this paper substrate justice as it practically "glows" on the wall. Note: Relic is not included with Fine Art Paper Prints.

The Story Behind the Print:

With the Japanese invasion of China in WWII, the only route for the Allies to continue the flow of supplies was by air, flying "over the Hump" from India. This perilous route took pilots across the eastern end of the Himalayan Mountains, where turbulence and abominable flying weather was the norm. Flying cargo aircraft such as the C-47 "Skytrain," the Tenth Air Force and the Air Transport Command (ATC) delivered over 650,000 tons of cargo and was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation in 1944 - the first non-combat organization to receive the honor.
