This item has a limited edition certificate included.

This aircraft was the personal mount of Lt. Col. Robert Baseler, who used it to fly from base to base. Baseler scored his five victories in this specially-modified Warhawk before it was repainted in this striking scheme and taken off operations. The two outboard guns were removed, along with the radio and other non-essential items, to lighten the aeroplane in the hope of making it capable of reaching high-altitude German photo-reconnaissance aircraft. Although its performance was much improved. Baseler never did catch one of the high flying raiders.
