Shining Stallion Lyons Studios Limited Edition Aviation Print

Sam Lyons aviation prints represent the pinnacle of P-51D Mustang artwork, with "Shining Stallion" capturing the legendary "Lil' Margaret" in breathtaking 16" x 24" detail.

Dual authentication sets this limited edition aircraft print apart, featuring both numbered certification and a Certificate of Authenticity, elevating it above typical WWII fighter plane art.

Historical Significance and Artistic Mastery

The collectibility of P-51 Mustang art goes beyond decoration. "Lil' Margaret" boasts a remarkable history, from Mustang Ace Clyde B. East's photo-reconnaissance missions with the 9th Air Force to its award-winning restoration by Henry "Butch" Schroeder. This aircraft earned the WWII Grand Champion trophy at the 1993 EAA AirVenture, transforming it from wartime workhorse to airshow champion. Lyons masterfully presents the restored P-51D from a perspective showing the aircraft from slightly behind and to the right, where polished aluminum surfaces create stunning light reflections.

Technical Excellence and Preservation

Lyons' artistic brilliance extends beyond historical accuracy to technical mastery. The realistic metallic reflection makes cloudy skies appear mirrored in the fuselage, offering an almost tactile experience. Available as an Artist Proof limited to 20 copies or signed and numbered Limited Edition prints restricted to 200, each piece uses acid-free paper and permanent inks for museum-quality preservation. Whether displayed in pilot offices, aviation-themed homes, or serious warbird collectibles galleries, this artwork serves as both an investment piece and conversation starter, honoring military aviation heritage.
