Join Up
Frank Loudin. The perky little Boeing F4B biplane
became one of the very few designs accepted by both
the Army and Navy. The Navy's version could speed
along at 188 mph, climb to 26,900 feet, and fly non-stop
for 734 miles. The jaunty appearance belied the fact
that these colorful birds were war machines - armed
and dangerous. That paradox may reflect our 1930s
attitude toward the possibility of international conflict:
those who would "Join Up" probably would
never fire a real shot! Print measures 20"x 15"
with included matte. |

Durable Duck
Frank Loudin. Grumman's J2F Duck joined the U.S. Coast
Guard in 1934 and, during the next eleven years, served
with distinction in most of those exotic hell-holes
that only the military cares to claim. There were,
indeed, some heroic, hair-raising exploits of search
and rescue in the face of treacherous weather, raging
seas and hostile fire, but she was big and tough and
proudly preserved the Guard's tradition of "Semper
Peratus." Print measures 20"x 15" with
included matte. |
