Details About the RELIC:

The Story Behind the Print:

High above the Essex-class aircraft carrier - USS Boxer, Goodyear FG-1D Corsair No. 92095 conducts training exercises in anticipation of "Operation Downfall" - the proposed Allied invasion of Japan that never materialized. Dubbed "Whistling Death" by its enemies, the FG-1D was the dedicated Fighter-Bomber configuration of the highly successful F4U Corsair and became the US Navy and Marine Corp's carrier-based close air support aircraft during the Korean War.
