Francis “Gabby” Gabreski, was a member of “The Inner Seven,” an elite group of pilots who achieved the status of “ace ” in both World War II and Korea. Francis S. Gabreski, Hubert Zemke, and David Schilling, all aces in the 56th Fighter Group, were nicknamed ""The Terrible Three"" by the Germans. Flying his P-47D, as shown in the painting, Lieutenant Colonel Gabreski helped earn this nickname by leading his squadron on a bomber escort mission in November 1943. After singling out the lead Me-110 in a formation which was about to attack the bomber force, he closed in and opened fire with short, effective bunts from dead astern. The enemy aircraft started to break up and Gabreski had to quickly dive to avoid collision; the Me-110 skimmed the top of his canopy, crushed his right wing, and tore into his left wing. Nevertheless, he continued his escort duties and, later in the sortie, downed another German fighter. For his deeds during this mission, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.

The autograph(s) includes an official PSA/DNA hologram and matching LOA for authenticity purposes.
