EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to November 1949, where a United States Coast Guard B-17 airplane takes center stage. This side view of the aircraft showcases its impressive size and power as it sits confidently on a runway in Baffin Bay, Greenland. The plane's significance becomes apparent as our gaze is drawn towards two aerial cameras mounted on its body - these specialized tools were used for the crucial task of counting icebergs. The image exudes a sense of purpose and adventure, capturing the essence of air transport during this era. The rugged beauty of Greenland's coastline serves as an awe-inspiring backdrop, emphasizing the daring nature of the Coast Guard's mission. Hulton Archive has masterfully preserved this moment in history through their expertly curated collection. The fine details captured by their lens allow us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind both camera and aircraft but also the dedication and skill required by those who operated them. This print from Fine Art Storehouse invites us to reflect upon an important chapter in maritime exploration. It serves as a reminder that even amidst vast oceans and treacherous icy terrains, there are individuals who tirelessly work to ensure safety at sea.
