30x22" print by Joe Kline, mounted on cardboard for safekeeping, of Col. Morehead's P-40, he was among the most highly decorated flying aces of World War II. A personal autographed note by Col. Morehead.
April 25, 1942, over Darwin, Australia. Leading a squadron of eight P-40 Warhawks — unwieldy, frustratingly slow fighter planes that were vastly outpaced by Japanese aircraft — Lieutenant Morehead faced down, out thought and outmaneuvered a winged armada of about 30 Japanese bombers, guarded by a fleet of Japanese fighter planes.
