Re: Any of you collect aviation art?

.
I'm still trying to get my father's Eddie Rickenbacker signed photo he got back in the late 60's.It has him kinda sitting on top of the Spad cockpit looking down the gunsight with his trademark smile.
I have seen that photo since i was a kid and he said it was mine back then...
I still don't have it yet...lol

I wrote Eddie twice back when I was a teenager, and I received a signed photo (in mine, he's standing next to his Spad with his foot up on top of the wheel), plus two signed letters, and also have his autographed autobiography.

I also purchased, for $25, an original, 1st edition, of his first book, "Fighting the Flying Circus" from a used book store in Maine.

Would not part with them for the world!
