Hoover's Fighting Spitfire by Sam Lyons

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 searching and destroying attacking enemy ships and shooting up trains along the French and Italian coasts from Cannes to Genoa. The moment depicted by “Hoover’s Fighting Spitfire” is shortly before Bob was shot down and captured. (He escaped however in an amazing feat of bravery and daring!)
