HAND PAINTED ARTIST REMARQUE
This is a well-researched documentary scene of two P-38 Lightning pilots playing havoc on an enemy freight train in the scenic hills of Germany. Upon realizing that the first short blasts from their heavily armed aircraft caused no major explosions and that the train was, in fact, not carrying ammunition, they break off . . .
Although Ronald Suchiu is able to paint absolutely any subject he does have his favorites and "Aviation Art" is certainly one of them.
. . . their deadly attack to pursue a target of more value.
The stripes over the wings would date the scene to just a few days after D-Day. Lockheed is the company who built the aircraft. P-38 is the designated number for
this type of aircraft.
The United States Air Force (U.S.A.F.) classified most fighter aircraft under "P" which stands for pursuit. The number following (in this case "38") would be the order in which
each individual aircraft designed was accepted by the government.
