Sign In to see what this sold for

On March 9, 1916 Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa and 500 of his Villistas attacked the border town of Columbus, New Mexico. the United States responded by immediately dispatching U.S. Army forces under the command of General John J. "Blackjack" Pershing to avenge the border penetration and capture the bandit Villa. Pershing deployed eight Curtiss JN-2s of the First Aero Squadron for use as scouts in the mountainous Mexican territory to which Villa and his men had fled. This is a L/E print of 750 and is personally signed by the artist. It has never been mounted and is in perfect condition. It comes with a COA that is suitable for framing and the image size is 26" x 16 1/2".
