National World War II Memorial

Merchant Marine

Cover Announcement 

This is the final cover of my World War II Memorial set, and it pays tribute to the Merchant Marine. A cargo transport in the foreground steams ahead, trying to elude a flight of enemy planes with the ship in its crosshairs. Nearby a naval escort has shot down one of the attackers, and, trailing a plume of smoke, it descends toward the ocean. To the upper right, a formation of four U.S. planes heads toward the enemy aircraft intent on protecting the exposed ship. In the distance, another Merchant Marine vessel has taken a hit and billows smoke.

This set has turned out to be very popular with my collectors and looks like it will soon be sold out. If you don't have all of the covers and think you might want them for your collection, now is the time.

I'm honored to pay tribute to the brave and vital merchant mariners of World War II. Collins # P3806 at $12.25.
