Cold War Warriors The B-47 was the first modern bomber to serve in General Curtiss Lemay's Strategic Air Command. When it entered service in the early 1950s, it was as fast as many
of the early jet fighters. Able to carry tremendous loads long distances and at altitudes as high as 40,000 feet, it was an effective deterrent in the early days of the cold war. L/E of 850 S/N by
the artist & B-47 test pilot A.M. "Tex" Johnston 29" x 22-1/2" $125 |

Fill Up for the Cadillac The B-52 has been a major player in America's defense since its introduction in 1952. Designed as a high altitude nuclear bomber, it's just as effective flying
low altitude missions with a belly full of high drag iron bombs. The BUFF will see service well into the next century and will be flown, loaded, and maintained by a generation that is yet to be born. This
picture depicts an H model in the camouflage scheme worn from the 1960s through the early 1980s. L/E of 650, S./N by the artist 28-3/4" x 21-1/4" $85.00 |

The Lone Ranger Designed in 1945 and first flown in 1952, the Avro Vulcan was a new and radical design which incorporated many advances developed during WWII. "Lone
Ranger" was the R.A.F.'s code name for special training flights routinely flown around the globe, which is why the Vulcan is depicted here making a public appearance over Niagara Falls.
L/E of 495, S/N by the artist 30" x 23" $140.00 |
