THE PRINT

Tell me about the print. The print is 28" wide by 20" high, printed full color on archival paper, using the latest color and printing techniques. The print is signed by the artist, Robert Peters.

BOMB GROUP MARKINGS

I don't have any research on my bomb group markings. We usually have research on your markings available. Give us your Air Force, Bomb Group and Squadron numbers and the dates you served and we will research them for you. Any research you do have will be of help, even what you remember.

Do you return my research and photos I send you? All materials you send us to complete your personalization will be returned to you when we ship you your final order. We highly recommend that you send us copies of your valuable photos.

NOSE ART

How much does nose art cost that is just lettering? $35 per plane.

How much does nose art cost that is an illustration (for example, a drawing of woman or object)? $65.00 per drawing, lettering included.

I don't have any research or photos of my nose art. We have quite a bit of research on nose art available to us. Often times you can describe the illustration or type of lettering and we can draw it from your explanation. You always are able to see the nose art before we send you your final print to make sure you are satisfied with the drawing.

Will you return my photos? All photos and research are returned to you at the completion of your order. Please send us copies of your valuable photos.

CREW OR INDIVIDUAL PHOTO

What size photo do I need to send for my individual or crew shot? We can work with any size photo, black & white or color. We scan the photo you send into our computer and size it to the correct size for the print. We will return any photos you send us. Since most of the photos you have are old and valuable to you, we recommend you make a good copy of them and send the copy to us. Places like Kinkos or photo developers can make you nice copies.

I don't have a photo of myself from World War II? You may use a more recent photo of yourself or we can use emblems, awards, etc. you have to enhance the print.

What information do you need for under the photo? Generally, your name, rank position, air force, bomb group and squadron numbers for any individual photo. With crew shots, we usually list the air force, bomb group and squadron and all the men in the photo identifying them by their rank, name and position. If you don't know all the names of the men on the photo or don't want to list them, we can put only your name and where you are in the picture.

What else can I put with my photo? This is an opportunity for you to tell your story to your family and friends. Any information regarding your service can be included such as: base you flew from, dates you served, POW information, camps you were in, number of missions flown, military awards and honors you received, etc. You can even write a story of one of your missions, etc. You can be creative! All information you want is typeset with your photo.

Can I put more than one crew or individual photo on the print? Yes. Often we put both an individual and a crew shot on a print. Each photo with names, etc. is charged $25.

Do I get my photo back? Yes, all photos and materials you send will be returned to you at the completion of your order. Please send copies of your valuable photos.

FRAMING

What is the frame like? The 28"x20" frame is a classic brushed aluminum, with non-glare Plexiglass, ready to hang when you open the box. There is no matting. A very nice quality, good value and it couldn't be easier to hang!

Do you have any other frames available? Generally, if you want to match frames you already are using it is best you take the print to your local framer. We do offer a larger matt and frame. You may also add a remarque on the matting. Prices available upon request.

Do you give discounts on more than one print order? Yes, we offer a 10% discount on any duplicates of your print. Each print is still individually customized by the artist. Several people have ordered additional prints to send to their family and fellow crew members.
