Aurora, Oregon 
As long as I can remember, I’ve always been fascinated with flight and when the chance to shoot this majestic machine arose I was stoked. This masterpiece of aviation history - just look at the classic lines and amazing detail on the reflective surface. This Beauty of the skies was born in 1937 in California and really pioneered aviation history - overcoming the immense obstacle of a massive single wing span, revolutionized air transport for decades.

This plane has spent over ten years of flying time in the air and still going strong - from 1937 to this day. Printing this in black and white was an obvious choice adding power, depth and strength to this masterpiece. Everything about this shot - the sky and composition takes me right back to that special moment of how I felt being right there. A memory that will stay with me forever.

Emma ★★★★★

The detail on the prop blur against that crisp Oregon sky is what sold me — it feels like the plane is about to roll right off the frame. I’ve stared at this print every morning since it arrived and still catch something new in the cockpit glass. Exactly the kind of aviation history I wanted hanging

Olivia K. ★★★★★

The detail on this print is incredible — you can practically feel the rivets and hear the engines from that Oregon airfield. It’s hanging in my office now and I catch myself staring at it instead of working. A real piece of history captured perfectly.

Isabella W. ★★★★☆

The composition really captures the sense of motion and power—you can almost hear the engines. The print quality is sharp and the aviation detail holds up well from across the room. Only knock is the frame feels a bit lightweight for the price, but the image itself is stunning.
