EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to September 24,1947, at the American Air Force Base in Coral Harbor, Nunavut. The image showcases a crew hand diligently starting the port engine of the iconic DC-3 Bluebonnet Belle after its starter motor had unexpectedly quit. This momentous event took place during a daring rescue mission to save Canon John H. Turner, who had tragically shot himself at Moffet Inlet on Baffin Island. The gouache painting beautifully captures the essence of this historical incident with its vibrant colors and meticulous illustration technique. Set against a backdrop of cold temperatures and fierce winds, the crew members can be seen working together tirelessly to overcome this unexpected setback. The image exudes a sense of occupation and teamwork as five men pull on ropes attached to the nose cone while donning their winter jackets. The propeller looms large in the foreground, symbolizing both power and determination in their quest to save lives. This artwork not only pays homage to an important chapter in aviation history but also serves as a testament to the resilience and bravery displayed by those serving in the US Armed Forces during that time period. It is an evocative reminder of how even amidst challenging circumstances, human ingenuity prevails through collaboration and unwavering dedication.
