P-51 Mustang D-Day Stripes Framed Print, Lou IV Leading the Formation

Description

A color photograph of a P-51 Mustang formation, printed and framed as a 14×11 landscape. It comes in Barnwood, Charcoal, Black or Walnut, with a clear front panel and a wall hanger. As a p-51 mustang d-day stripes framed print it is wide enough to carry all three aircraft and the cloud deck beneath them, and it arrives finished and made to order for a den, an office or a hallway wall.

The nearest Mustang is Lou IV, the aircraft of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Christian, who commanded the 361st Fighter Group from its base in England. Its yellow nose, the E2 squadron codes and the black-and-white bands around the wings and fuselage make it one of the most recognized Mustang photographs of the war. Those bands were painted on almost every Allied aircraft just before D-Day so gunners on the ground and at sea could tell friend from foe, and they stayed on through the summer of 1944. It is a strong choice for a veteran, a grandfather who served, a pilot, or a dad who reads about the air war, and it suits a birthday, a retirement or a promotion.

Each frame is made to order in our family-owned workshop in Northeast Ohio and made in the USA. The photograph is printed with fade-resistant inks that keep the blue sky and the white cloud clear for years, and you choose the frame: Barnwood for a rustic den, Charcoal or Black for an office, Walnut for a study lined with history books. It sits well beside other aviation art and WWII memorabilia.

At 14×11 this is a wall piece. It hangs from the built-in hanger in a landscape orientation, so it fits above a desk, a sofa or a workbench where a taller frame would not. The clear front panel is lightweight and shatter-resistant, which makes it a sensible choice for a garage, a hangar office or a bedroom full of model planes.

Choose a frame color and give the Mustang fan in your life a piece of 1944 they can hang where they will see it every day.

Every order is made and packed by hand in our family shop in Northeast Ohio. We use premium gallery-wrapped canvas, high-quality frame material and fade-resistant inks for both prints and canvas. Each frame is made to order and shipped same or next business day.
