Day Of Infamy

18"x24" | Oil on Panel | Framed

In remembrance of the events of Dec 7 1941 and the lives lost during the attack on Pearl Harbour. Two Curtiss P40’s of the 47th Pursuit Squadron race from Hale’iwa Airfield to offer whatever defence they could against vastly overwhelming odds. 2nd Lieutenants Welch and Taylor and others inflicted only minor damage upon the new and ruthless enemy, but that day, those few brave pilots became, and remain an inspiration to all who choose to answer their nation’s call.
