421st Tactical Fighter Squadron “Black Widows”

421st Tactical Fighter Squadron “Black Widows”
Limited edition of 10 pieces signed by retired Air Force General Ronald Fogleman

Long before highly decorated Air Force legend Ronald Fogleman became a 4-star General, a legendary U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff, and a National Aviation Hall of Fame enshrinee, he was a young fighter pilot flying F-100 Super Sabres over North Vietnam and Laos as an elite Misty FAC - a high-speed, low-level, high-risk forward air controller.

His second combat tour in 1973 and ’74 was just as dangerous, flying the McDonnell Douglas F-4D/E Phantom II as a Fast FAC commander with the 421st Tactical Fighter Squadron “Black Widows”.   Of his 315 Southeast Asia combat fighter missions, 80 were with the 421st.  His awards include a Silver Star, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, 17 Air Medals, and a Purple Heart.

Warbird Aviation Art is delighted to announce our latest release, a limited edition of only 10 pieces of actual F-4 Phantom aluminum which have each personally been signed in gold ink by retired General Ronald Fogleman.   

Each features my hand-painting of the famous 421st Tactical Fighter Squadron “Black Widows - Kiss of Death” insignia, numbered and then mounted in a beautiful walnut shadow box frame with an engraved brass I.D. plaque for a museum-like presentation.

As always, each ready-to-hang panel comes with my letter of provenance that includes photos taken at the signing.   As a bonus, included is a diagram of the F-4 showing the location on the Phantom from which the original, new-in-the-box aluminum was sourced.

With each truly a piece of Air Force history and a unique family heirloom, you won’t want to miss out on this very limited General Fogleman-autographed edition  - featuring original art on real Phantom skin.  #1 of 10 has already been purchased.  Contact me today to get your commission in the queue!
