Boeing Boeings Fore Wichita Prod
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity of Boeing's Air Force Factory 56 in Wichita, Kansas during the height of World War II. The image, dated 1944, focuses on the foreground where a freshly painted Boeing B-29 Superfortress, serial number 44-61535, sits proudly on the ground, ready for its maiden flight. The B-29 was a long-range bomber used primarily by the United States Army Air Forces in the Pacific Theatre. Its advanced features, including a pressurized cabin and remote-controlled defensive guns, made it a formidable weapon against the Japanese forces. The production of the B-29 was a massive undertaking, with Factory 56 being one of the primary facilities responsible for building these aircraft. In this photograph, we see a scene of organized chaos, with workers in various stages of assembling other B-29s in the background. The assembly line method was employed to increase production speed, with each section of the plane being built separately before being transported to the final assembly area. The B-29 program was a critical component of the Allied war effort, and the successful production of these aircraft helped to turn the tide of the war in the Pacific. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the incredible feats of engineering and manufacturing that took place during this time, as well as the sacrifices made by the men and women who worked tirelessly to build these aircraft and support the war effort.
