EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Grumman E-1B Tracer 147214, a vital aircraft in the United States Navy's fleet during its deployment to the Mediterranean Sea in July 1967. Operated by VAW-121 and based on the USS Saratoga, this aircraft played a crucial role in reconnaissance and early warning missions.
Originally built as a Grumman WF-2 Tracer, this aircraft was re-designated as an E-1B in 1962, reflecting its evolution and importance within naval aviation. With its distinctive design and call sign "700", this aircraft stood out among others on deck.
The image showcases the sleek lines of the E-1B Tracer against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, highlighting its role as an essential component of naval operations. The attention to detail in this photograph allows viewers to appreciate not only the beauty of flight but also the precision and skill required for such missions.
The Peter Butt Aviation Collection has captured a moment frozen in time, allowing us to glimpse into history and witness firsthand the power and majesty of military aviation. This print is not just a piece of art but also a tribute to all those who have served aboard these incredible machines.
