Description: "OFF TO THE CHOSIN" by Nicolas Trudgian The morning of December 3, 1950, off the North Korean coast . . . with 150,000 horsepower churning, the USS Leyte steams into the wind as a Corsair piloted by Lt. Tom Hudner, Jr. leaps from the deck, bound for the most dire battle of the Korean War. An hour’s flight away, the Marines and their Army brethren are surrounded at the Chosin Reservoir, outnumbered ten to one by Chinese Communist troops. But help is on the way. Fueled by urgency, the Leyte and the 7th Fleet steer toward the coast. After the Corsairs launch, AD Skyraiders will follow, and soon all twenty-four planes will deliver the air strikes that will turn the tide. Now, with sailors watching in silent support, the air tingles with hope and the roar of propellers—Another one is off! AUTOGRAPHS: Hand-signed by VF-32 Corsair pilots Captain Thomas J. Hudner, Jr. (Medal of Honor), Commander Marty Goode, Commander Herb Sargent, Lt. Commander Bill "Wilkie" Wilkinson, and artist Nicolas Trudgian. EDITION: Victory Edition of 390 limited-edition prints. Includes signed Certificate of Authenticity with "History Behind the Art". SIZE: Overall: 32" x 22.5" Image: 28" x 16.5" SHIPPING: Ships rolled in a tube with full insurance. WHY BUY FROM VALOR STUDIOS? EXPERIENCE /// Since 1999 we've been creating the world's finest hand-autographed military art and collectibles.

THE REAL DEAL /// Unlike so many autographs we see on EBay, ours are hand-signed and we have the photos to prove it. Combine that with a reputation of being America's leader in military art publishing and you can shop with complete peace of mind. HONESTY /// Our veteran signers know the items they are autographing are for commercial purposes and they're paid generously for their efforts. We're proud to say that some of our veteran friends have been signing with us for 15+ years! QUALITY /// All the products we sell on Ebay are new and guaranteed in mint condition. They are printed on museum grade papers with archival inks and with proper care (utilizing archival-grade storage methods) will last longer than any of us. VALUE /// All our veteran signed items are limited in number. Once they sell out there is no creating more and as a result we often see our products appreciate in value.
