SPECIAL OFFERING:
1-Nov-07
Most of you are familiar with A-36 and
P-47 prints commissioned by Dr. John Thompson and John Dolny and sold as a
money-raiser in the early days of the Association. The P-47 prints were
obtained from an original painting provided by Crew Chief H. E. “Brad”
Bradford. The print reflects the P-47 as flown by John Dolny (now
Major General), marked with the name Sandra Lee for his niece, with his
aircraft number 70, and with a candystriped tail. A numbered limited
edition of this print, personally autographed by John, Brad, and Sandra Lee,
will soon be available.
The picture comes with
(1) a certificate confirming that it is a limited edition, (2) background
information on the three signers, plus (3) photographs of the three
individuals taken during WWII. This is a fund raising endeavor – the cost of
the package is $30.00 plus shipping expenses of approximately $5.00. All
proceeds will be credited to the 86th FBG Association.
To obtain one of these fine prints, contact:
