Captain Jerry Yellin's P-51D Mustang "DORRIE R" in 3D
3D artwork created in 2014 for Captain Jerry Yellin, a P-51D Mustang pilot with the 78th FG "Bushmasters" based on Iwo Jima in WW2. Captain Yellin is the author of five books about his WWII experience and life afterwards. He is the spokesperson for the "Spirit of '45" national day of celebration every second Sunday in August to commemorate the end of WW2.
He is also a champion for our military men and women from all conflicts now suffering from PTSD. By practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM) Captain Yellin has been able to live with his own PTSD.
I was honored to create this 3D artwork of Captain Yellin's P-51D Mustang "DORRIE R" and place it alongside his eloquent and moving words.
Captain Yellin passed away December 21, 2017. Blue skies and tailwinds sir.
