Col. William Leverette was a Lockheed P-38 Lightning ace with the 14th Fighter Group who attained 11 confirmed aerial victories. This custom framed and matted print depicts a mission on October 9, 1943, when Leverette's flight of six aircraft rushed to the defense of a British cruiser and several destroyers that were under attack by a large group of enemy JU-87s and Ju-88s.
