Evasive Action Over Sagami Bay by William Philllips.
Shortly after bombing
the Tokyo Gas and Electric Company, Pilot Lt. Harold F.Watson banks the
B-25 Whirling Dervish steeply to avoid a Japanese cruiser that lay
directly on the aircraft’s escape route to China. It was the ninth of
sixteen aircraft to leave the carrier USS Hornet on the audacious April
18, 1942 Doolittle Raid on Japan. That United States Army Air Forces
bombers could launch from a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier was
inconceivable at the time. President Roosevelt claimed the aircraft
came from a secret airbase in the mythical Shangri-La. American bombers
striking the Japanese homeland and passing within sight of Mount Fuji,
the most sacred mountain in all Japan, delivered a succinct message to
the warring Axis nation: America, the Sleeping Giant, had begun to
stir.
Evasive Action Over Sagami Bay is an authentic historical document,
offered as both a fine art print and canvas edition, countered-signed
by American heroes that participated in the Doolittle Raid. This is a
unique opportunity to own and preserve an important moment in aviation
and U.S. military history. 
Canvas and print released 2006.
