P-Boat: One, U-Boat: Nothing

P-Boat: One, U-Boat: Nothing
Aviation Art Print


Don Feight.
The big, tough Martin flying boats were already in service prior to America's entry into WWII and were quickly adapted to the role of anti-submarine warfare against the Nazi U-boat wolfpacks in early 1942, but were used in a variety of other roles that included - search and rescue, transport, electronic warfare, reconnaissance, and patrol. Print depicts a Martin PBM Mariner over calm seas attacking a submerged U-boat with a low-level depth charge run. The aircraft carried its ordnance in a unique bomb bay located in the engine nacelles, and it had the capability of carrying torpedoes under the wings. Signed and numbered, limited edition of 500, 28"x 22" print.
