F4U Corsair Over Iwo Jima ORIGINAL Pencil Drawing
This is an original pencil drawing by John Martin Bradley.
It depicts an F4U Corsair flown by Lt. Commander Bill Hardy on his way to support ground troops during the invasion of Iwo Jima. Commander Hardy is one of the pilots in my WWII combat veterans project. A man who was larger than life and a great story-teller. The thing he was proudest of, apart from his rise from humble beginnings, was his skill in dropping napalm bombs into tunnels built into the ravines of Mount Suribachi by the Japanese. Doing so at near point-blank range while flying directly at the mountain face. The expression “balls-of-steel” comes to mind.
The drawing is intended to look like an old black-and-white photograph.
This fine art piece is available for delivery, in a tube packed by me, all over the world by major courier.
PLEASE NOTE: the original drawing is different from the print of the same master drawing in that there is no printed text on the original (the printed text is only on the print version of the piece).
To keep things simple, worldwide delivery of original work is included in the price; however, there may be border or local taxes that you will need to cover.
If you would like to chat with me on a whatsapp video call, I am very happy to do that; not least of all because it is always nice to know where and to whom my work is going. We an set that up via email JohnMartinBradley@gmail.com
