Does anyone know if a print of Keith Ferris' great mural Fortresses Under Fire (Thunderbird - 303rd BG) is readily available anywhere? Or is it a secondary market print only?

I have done quite a bit of searching on Google, but haven't found much.

I could rip the folded print out of my Smithsonian Book of Flight, but it has the fold creases on it and I'd rather not, anyway.

Thanks! :drink3:

have you tried the Smithsonian web page? I believe they have Lithos available and from a disussion several years ago with the artist I dont' think this was a limited edition. There was some isse over royalites and who owned the rights but I think that was resolved.

Thanks! :D

I think I have two of them. They are about 2 feet by 1 foot.
If I can find 'em, I'll send one.
