Hawker Sea Fury's of 802 Naval Squadron flying from HMS Ocean, engage MiG-15s over Pyongyang during the Korean War, 9th August 1952.

Lead by Peter 'Hoagy' Carmichael, four Royal Navy Sea Fury's encountered eight enemy MiG-15s and the intense dogfight resulted in the destruction of one MiG with at least two more damaged.

It's believed to be the first recorded victory of a piston-engined aircraft over a jet fighter in the Korean War.

Each print is individually hand signed by the famous pilot who lead the flight:

  • Commander Peter 'Hoagy' Carmichael

Matted Limited Edition

Originally published in 1985 it was thought at the time that Carmichael scored the first recorded victory of a piston-engine fighter over a jet fighter in the Korean War.

Since then, new research has now credited this victory to one of Carmichael's fellow Royal Navy pilots who was flying with him that day.

Featuring the signature listed on the Limited Edition plus the additional matted signature of the Royal Navy veteran who scored the Ace:
