"Those Clouds Won't Help You Now" - by William S. Personally Signed by Medal of Honor Recipient Kenneth A. This striking limited edition aviation print by William S.
Phillips captures Major Kenneth A. Walsh's F4U Corsair in high-speed pursuit of Japanese fighters over the Pacific during WWII. The scene commemorates a dramatic aerial engagement over the Solomon Islands in 1943."Those Clouds Won't Help You Now". The artwork vividly portrays Walsh's skill and daring, as he hunts down enemy aircraft amid broken clouds and tropical terrain. The painting immortalizes the determination of U.
Navy and Marine aviators in the Pacific Theater. Walsh was the first Corsair pilot awarded the Medal of Honor, credited with 21 aerial victories, making him one of the top U. Marine aces of the war. On August 30, 1943, Walsh shot down four Japanese Zeros in a single day, earning him the nation's highest decoration for valor. This print marks a tribute to that defining mission, showcasing the aircraft (F4U Corsair #833) and setting that made history.
