Description
"Icon" (48in W X 30in H) is a tribute to WWII ace Bill Price's North American P-51D Mustang, "Janie". Price and his aircraft served with 350th Squadron, 353rd fighter group based at Raydon, Essex, UK, as long-range fighter escort for B-17 daylight bombing raids on Germany.
"Janie" was faithfully resurrected by Maurice Hammond of Hardwick Warbirds, UK, a four-year project that was completed in 2001. The aircraft featured on Netflix in "Plane Resurrection, Episode 1" was an ex-NZAF fighter that Mr. Hammond brought back to the UK and rebuilt and painted in the livery of Bill Price's original aircraft.
In October 2016 the aircraft was destroyed in a tragic accident in which one gentleman, the passenger, died.
No other aircraft is as recognizable or admired, hence, the title of this work.
