Aviation Art The Beginning Machat P-59 Jet
Although not as sleek as the planes that would soon follow, the Bell XP-59 entered the history books as America's first jet aircraft. Although outclassed in performance by the top propeller driven fighter os the day, the XP-59A was an invaluable tool for the USAAF transition to jet power. This is a L/E of 850 prints and is sign by the artist and personally autographed by America's First Jet Pilot Lt. Gen. Laurence "Bill" Craigie. A real piece of history and one aviation art print that should be in everyone's collection. This print has never been mounted and is in perfect condition. It comes with a COA that is suitable for framing and has an image size of 17" x 22".
