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.

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 power and determination of the US Navy's Douglas SBD Dauntless dive-bombing planes in formation during the early years of World War II. The image, dating back to circa 1940, showcases a squadron of these iconic aircraft ready for action. Known as the "Scout Bomber Douglas," the SBD Dauntless is best remembered for its pivotal role in the historic Battle of Midway in June 1942. This decisive naval engagement marked a turning point in the Pacific War, with the US Navy inflicting significant damage on the Japanese Imperial Fleet. The SBDs delivered the fatal blows to the Japanese carriers, Kaga and Akagi, crippling their ability to wage war from the sea. With their distinctive inverted gull wings and menacing presence, these planes symbolize the courage and resilience of the US military during this critical period in world history. The formation depicted in this photograph stands as a testament to the skill and precision of the US Navy aviators who flew these planes and turned the tide of the war in the Pacific.
