Alfa Strike - Limited edition

Artist: Nicolas Trudgian | Copies: 600

The battle accomplishments of US Navy Squadron VA-163 during the Vietnam war were the stuff of legends. Sationed aboard the carrier Oriskany on its second cruise, VA-163's A-4 Skyhawks were led by Commander Wynn Foster, one of the navy's most aggressive strike leaders, and under Air Wing Commander James Stockdale, the A-4 pilots racked up a formidable record ass a top fighting unit.

Nick Trudgian's outstanding new painting, ALFA-STRIKE, shows Wynn Foster leading a typical ground attack near Haiphong in June 1966. Zigzagging out of the target area at low level, the A-4's are going flat out just a few feet above the spectacular coastal landscape of North Vietnam, close to the border with China.
