"Brothers in Arms"
| Brothers In Arms open edition print, 13” x 17.5" |
Captain Elliot Springs was perhaps one of the most colorful
American aces of WW1. Flying an SE5 with 85 squadron
and later Sopwith Camels with the 148th Aero squadron,
Springs became the 5th highest ranking American Ace with
16 victories. On June 18, 1918 he set out on a routine patrol
into enemy territory with his friend and squadron mate
John Grider. Grider became lost in a cloud and was
subsequently shot down by a patrolling German fighter.
Springs carried the guilt of his friend’s loss for many years,
and after returning to the US Springs wrote the bestseller
"Warbirds: The Diary of an Unknown Aviator", a book
based on the diaries of John Grider. “Brothers In Arms” is a
depiction of Elliot Springs and John Grider on patrol during
the fateful mission of June 18.
Printed on acid free stock with fade resistant inks, the print
is signed by Russell Smith.
