Shark Attack Original Work by John Shaw – Framed Collector’s Piece

Description

This stunning multimedia original work was used to create the companion print for John’s recent release, “Flying Tigers in Burma.”

Some years ago the Flying Tigers authorized a small number of faithful reproductions of the Blood Chit which they carried in China, to be personally signed by Sixteen original members of the AVG.  The Chinese text on this chit translates to:
“This foreigner has come to China to help in the war effort. Soldiers and civilians, one and all, should rescue and protect him.”

This incredible piece is now an exclusive TWENTY THREE SIGNATURE tribute to the Flying Tigers.
