Military Aviation Art
CO-SIGNED BY BOB HOOVER! This is the second print Sam has
produced that features a Bob Hoover airplane and signature. The first
starred Bob’s Shrike Commander; this one immortalizes Bob’s Spitfire.
On February 9, 1944, future aviation legend Bob Hoover was flying his Supermarine
Spitfire Mk. Vc. He and his four-plane-formation were charged with search
and destroy, attacking enemy ships and shooting up trains along the French
and Italian coasts, from Cannes to Genoa. The moment captured by
“Hoover’s Fighting Spitfire” is shortly before Bob was shot down and
captured. (Don’t worry, he escaped in an amazing feat of bravery and
daring!) |
