Here's more information about this artwork:
Artist: Mervin Allen Corning (1926-2006) was an American artist known for his detailed paintings, watercolors, and lithographs, especially those depicting sports and aviation history.
Subject Matter: This specific lithograph features WWI fighter aircraft, including Sopwith Camels (the British biplane) and potentially a German Fokker triplane, engaged in a dogfight. Corning's aviation works often vividly portray historical air combat scenes and iconic aircraft.
Significance: Corning's WWI aviation prints were sometimes part of larger collections, such as the "Heritage of the Air Collection" released by the Leach Corporation in the 1960s, which included detailed narratives alongside the artwork.
