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 print takes us back to the heart of World War Two, specifically to the year 1944 in Burma. The image showcases Myitkyina Airfield, a crucial strategic location during the intense Burma Campaign. From high above, we witness an awe-inspiring view as a Douglas C-47 transport plane belonging to the US Army Air Force soars through the skies. The airfield itself is bustling with activity; its runways and facilities serving as a lifeline for Allied forces engaged in this grueling conflict against Japanese occupation. This snapshot encapsulates both hope and determination amidst challenging circumstances. As our gaze follows the aircraft's trajectory, we can't help but marvel at the bravery of those who served on these perilous missions. These brave men risked their lives daily to provide vital supplies and support to ground troops fighting below. The black-and-white composition adds an air of nostalgia, transporting us directly into history's pages. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far humanity has come since those dark days while honoring the sacrifices made by countless individuals during one of mankind's most significant conflicts. Displayed within the esteemed Royal Air Force Museum, this photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also pays tribute to all those who fought valiantly for freedom and peace during World War Two.
