The performance figures of the A-12 have only recently been declassified. The A-12 flew faster and higher, Mach 3.29 at 90,000 feet, than any other piloted operational jet aircraft, including the SR-71. Numerous efforts were made by the North Vietnamese to shoot down the A-12, all without success, hence the namesake of this painting: \"Untouchable.\" \"Untouchable\" depicts A-12 #937, piloted by Mel Vojvodich (CIA) passing over Haiphong Bay, North Vietnam on the First Operational Black Shield Mission on 31 May 1967.All Limited Edition prints are signed and numbered (S/N) by the artist. Limited Edition prints are restricted to a certain number. For example, if 500 prints are made from an original painting, once theyre gone, thats it. There is no limit to the number of open edition prints of a particular painting. Thats why Limited Edition prints are more expensive and more valuable to collectors than \"open\" edition. Rare objects are more valuable. An Artists Proof (AP), generally, is the first 10% of the Limited Edition prints that come off the press. If the Limited Edition is 400 s/n, there would be 40 APs. This status is noted on the print. Collectors prefer APs because their value increases even more than a Limited Edition as time goes by. All Limited Edition artwork is subject to availability at time of order. Although seller strives to remain currrent as to inventory, seller reserves the right to cancel a sale if item is no longer available at time of purchase.
