This includes three P-51 Mustang Aces, four P.O.W.s, fifteen B-17 pilots, two co-pilots, three gunners, a bombardier, and two nose artists. The Presidential Proof is printed on canvas, stretched, and features hand painted “remarques” on the proof. This, and the signatures, makes each Presidential Proof special and unique.
