WW1 linen/canvas nose arts

[VeraVoulik]

Something quite different today.

On September 11th 1917, Georges Guynemer, French famous ace of WW1 was KIA.
I decided to honor his memory painting his squadron insignia, has it appeared on his Spad XIII plane the very day he died.
Linen on wooden frame 1m x 1m, dark blue grey background, then several layers of sail/sand color, insignia painted in 1:1 scale over his "ace tricolor band". Then a special rubber mix varnish was applicated to give this special finish.


I can offer all ww1 squadron insignias on linen (framed on wood or just linen to frame by customer)

This one is numbered 001 and is for sale today.
