1955 Marlin Martin Moving Refuelled Submarine
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
In this historic photograph from 1955, an A Martin P5M-1 Marlin maritime patrol aircraft receives fuel from a moving submarine, the USS Guavina, on the open sea. This groundbreaking event marked a significant achievement in aviation and naval history, as it demonstrated the capability of mid-air refueling at sea using a submarine. The A Martin P5M-1 Marlin, a versatile and advanced maritime patrol aircraft produced by the Martin Marietta Corporation, was widely used by the United States Navy for anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue missions, and reconnaissance. Its long range and endurance made it an essential asset for patrols over vast expanses of water. The USS Guavina, a Tench-class submarine, played a crucial role in this innovative refueling operation. By moving alongside the Marlin and extending a refueling hose, the submarine was able to transfer fuel to the aircraft in flight, extending its operational capabilities and range. This method of refueling at sea offered numerous advantages, including the ability to maintain aircraft readiness and availability without the need for surface vessels or land bases. This photograph captures a moment in time when the boundaries of aviation and naval technology were pushed, leading to new possibilities and advancements in military capabilities. The successful refueling of an aircraft from a moving submarine on the open sea represented a significant milestone in the history of both aviation and naval warfare.
