About this image
D-Day Stripes, or invasion stripes were alternating black and white bands painted on the fuselages and wings of Allied World War II aircraft, for the purpose of increased recognition by friendly forces (and thus reduced friendly fire incidents) during and after the Normandy Landings. The bands, consisting of three white and two black bands, wrapped around the rear of an aircraft fuselage just in front of the empennage (tail) and from front to back around both the upper and lower surfaces of the wings.

What my clients say
Adam is awesome! I purchased a zebra-butt print on metal from him for my brother-in-law for Christmas (yes, a long story!) and it's beautiful. Very professionally done with a metal box in back for hanging. I was proud to give it, aside from the humor factor! Also, I had to communicate several times with Adam during the process, and he is funny and very nice. All around a total pleasure to do business with. Highly recommend his work as well as his way of doing business.
The painting exceeded my expectations. A beautiful piece of artwork!
I came across Adam's work while searching for unique photos of the St. Lawrence River and found a great shot of the Baie-Comeau Bridge. My inquiries were met with a prompt and courteous response from Adam directly who accommodated my color and sizing requests. After an easy purchase, the photo was carefully shipped and arrived in one week. It was very easy and pleasant transaction.
