The artwork provides a detailed profile view of the aircraft on the ground, featuring its distinctive nose art with a pin-up girl and the text BRIEFING TIME, along with cockpit crew names and mission tally marks. The tail section displays the call sign 9D and the serial number 327638. The print is hand-signed by the artist in the lower right corner and numbered 340/500 in the lower left. The piece is professionally housed in a dark wood frame under glass, featuring double matting with a sage green outer layer and a gold-tone inner fillet. The reverse includes a gallery label from The Lees Gallery of Kenhorst, Pennsylvania.
