Description: The Japanese hed the best torpedo bombers and here is one that actually flew at Pearl Harbor.Again. Maruyama put the third of three torpedoes into the USS Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor.He also put a torpedo into a US carrier at the Battle of the Coral Sea leading to its sinking.Maruyama also put the last torpedo into the USS Wasp and helped sink that US carrier as well.He also helped sink two Australian and British Warships...THIS man flew from the moment the War started to the moment the War ended!You will not find another print autographed by such a Famous War Hero.Our prints are autographed in pencil by the pilot. Hang some history on your walls! Enjoy the stories under the artwork. It was an honor for me to have brought Japanese Heroes from Japan here to America to work with me on this project. This man is very special. Maruyama was a quiet man not a bragger or a "show-off." He was levelheaded. This man was good. He did his job. He never backed down. Print size is 12x18" Published on heavy duty museum paper. I am an aviation artist and historian.I have worked with well over one hundred pilots from World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the present-day Desert Wars. This print was autographed by the Ace with a German graphic pencil, so the signatures always look fresh. I have a photo of Maruyama signing the prints at the Nimitz Museum in Texas. I thought that Maruyama would have signed his name in English, I was SO PLEASED when I saw him sign my artworks in his language. I spent over three thousand dollars bringing Maruyama and Iwashita with three translators and assistants from Japan to America. Very expensive...thank you for considering my Japanese pilots in your Aviation Art collection. These are rare signatures. When I interviewed both men, I asked them where they were from, and they told me that they were from small villages. I asked them if they wanted to go to war with Americans...they said no... the Japanese pilots added that they would rather have had a beer with the American pilots. They told me that bad leaders do bad things, and it is the young men who get caught up in the conflict...how true. We have published 85 different poster prints. We have also published seventy-five limited editions prints that have been autographed by the pilots. I have something for everyone from Messerschmitt’s to Mustangs and F4 Phantoms to F-14 Tom Cats. I have worked with American pilots of all services. I have also worked with British, German, Japanese and Italian fighter and bomber pilots. Each and every pilot saw combat. We also have worked with the Tuskegee Airmen, The WASP, and the A.V.G. At your service: Sir Ernie Hamilton Boyette
