1-54-D-C-4..........ORIGINAL GRUMMAN PRINT OF GRUMMAN F-11 TIGER ............Believe it or not, this is an original full color print (total size is 26 inches by 20 inches) by none of ther Grumman Aircraft!........bottom left hand corner is marked ' 1955, Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp.) and center below print is marked 'Grumman F-11F-1 Tiger'............print itself is marked 'Chesley Bonestell' as the original artist.....printed on heavy paper, backed by heavy cardstock with a thin coat of paper sandwiched between, all appears original............apparently only 199 F-11F-1;s were ever built, but operated with honor off carriers and by the Blue Angels!......this poster has some light water staining at the edges and a slight warp (I am guessing it wasn't laid flat or inside a picture frame for a while)......some light marking on edge outside of print image looks to me that this would still be respectable in a frame.......very rare factory print of this majestic US Fighter.........$15......shipped flat, not rolled!
