ATTACK ON THE HIEI

Limited Edition print by military artist Robert Taylor.  

In Taylor's stunning painting, it's November 13, 1942 and Marine Ace Captain Joe Foss leads a flight of eight F4F Wildcats from VMF-121, in an attack on the Imperial Japanese battle cruiser Hiei.  It's the Pacific Theater, north of Savo Island, Guadalcanal.

Later that evening, after relentless air attacks, the Hiei, disappears beneath the sea- the first Japanese battleship sunk by American Forces in World War 2.
