@Navynuke99 . The WW-I scenes are from Hugault’s trilogy “Pilot Edelweiss”. According to some interviews with monsieur Hugault, his (near) future plans are the 3rd and last Angel Wings cycle (a dyptich) with former Fifinella Angela McCloud during the Korean War.
Then he wants to draw 4 short graphic novel stories about the French Indochina War (Laos, Vietnam); the period before the Americans took over (1946 - 1954).
The airplanes during this conflict: French Indochina War Aircraft (1946-1954)
The preview from this project is promising:
Last year Romain Hugault finished the illustrated book “St-Ex”, (about the French pilot and ace Antoine de Saint-Exupéry), and since he likes to do more of these projects also.
But you could ask him about Eugene Bullard via his Facebook-account: Romain Hugault | Facebook

I want to know how I can find a print of this. I got to see and photograph this airplane when it was in Fairbanks, Ak. Nothing on the website.

Notice “Angela” (McCloud) on the fuselage. The Panther from her fan Lt. Robbins “Rob” Clower (see ANGEL WINGS cycle 1 and 2) perhaps? (As in the 50s the US-Navy had no female pilots.)
