Art

[Zak33]

I was given three books on Aviation Art this week by my Dad who scoured Flea Markets for me for months.

Coulson, Wooton and Turner.

So far, this one has to be my favourite picture

Do you guys have any books on aviation artists?

Nice

My Dad donated his Robert Taylor collection to me last year, which was nice
My favorite of our collection is 'Knights Cross' - this is Eric Hartmann saluting his victim - an IL2 (if you look closely you can see the rear gunner of the IL2 bailing)



Summer Victory is another favorite (I don't have this one)

the ones I didnt expect to like I loved

Such as Michael Turner's "First Solo" which is simply a pencil drawing of a Cessna , where the instructor is leaning under the wing to close the door and let the student go off for his first loner flight.

The flaps are fully down, its parked on the grass, and you can feel the tension but the happyness too.
