“’Advantage Eagle’ is a
term that will be heard frequently as long as the F-15 is flying,” says
artist Bill Phillips. Phillips likes the Eagle’s capabilities:
mach 2.5 and an unrefueled range of 1300 to 1500 miles with the
centerline tank in use.
In his painting, the artist shows the F-15 screaming over the
Arizona desert on a training mission. “To impart a feeling of
power and motion, the landscape in my painting is at a slight angle and
the foreground is blurred as the Eagle roars by at about 500 knots.” |

Renowned aviation artist
William S. Phillips loves the B-17. That much is clear every time he
paints it, but he is especially fond of the B-17. It’s Sweet
Rose O’Grady in this dramatic horizontal skyscape.
“Rosie was a B-17G-5-VE, and she flew more missions than almost
any other aircraft in the 8th Air Force,” Phillips states.
“She flew with 427th Squadron, 303rd Bomb Group,
First Air Division, 41st Combat Bomb Wing, out of Molesworth,
England.”
More than 8,000 B-17G’s
were sent into European skies. Sweet Rose flew 124 missions, and Alone No More chronicles one of them. “She is returning from a
mission with battle damage,’ says Phillips. “She’d dropped behind the formation and was alone in the vast
European skies—one of the things most feared by bomber crews, because
then they became easy prey for the fighters of the Third Reich. But now
Rosie is joined by two Spitfire Mark XI’s of the 241st
Squadron. They will escort her home to England. Rosie and her crew are Alone
No More.”

June, 1968, the aircraft carrier America took up her position in dangerous
waters. Seen here launching
an F-4, while an A-4 prepares to launch, the U.S.S. America begins her
tour of duty off the coast of Vietnam.
On her deck are an A-3 Skywarrior (in front of the island) and two
RA-5’s. A cruiser and a destroyer stand in the background.
Above four A-4’s fly in formation while an HC-7 Seasprite
helicopter transits between the cruiser and the America. |

“Among
the Columns of Thor has double meaning to it,” says renowned
aviation artist William S. Phillips. “In Norse mythology, Thor is the
god of thunder and war. These B-24s from the 409th Bomb
Squadron, 23rd Bomb Group, are in column formation, literally
flying among Thor’s cloud columns. They are escorted by P-51s from the
361st Fighter Squadron, 356th Fighter Group, as they
return from their targets in Germany.”
Phillips depicts the aircraft flying from the deeper, brooding colors that
are symbolic of war into the lighter skies of safety and peace. The
uncamouflaged silver color scheme of the planes represents Allied
superiority and the coming end of the war.

| It is
1945 in the Pacific. Three F6F Hellcats are shown returning to the
aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-12) after a routine patrol. The majority
of the patrol flight was over, as was the majority of the war, but for
these Hellcat pilots and the Allied military, there were still some very
important things to do. “For these planes,” says renowned aviation
artist William S. Phillips, “it was a trap’--landing on the relatively
small, moving deck and catching the arresting cable with the plane’s
tail hook. For the military as a whole, it was winning the war.” |

| The
flight of the Enola Gay and the capture of Iwo Jima, were two of the most
significant events of World War II. I wanted, in some small way, to pay
tribute to those who captured the island fortress even as I paid homage to
the United States Army Air Forces and the crew of the Enola Gay for the
mission. Both events hastened the end of the war and made the invasion of
the Japanese homeland unnecessary. - William S. Phillips |

limited edition print honors James B. Stockdale, who led the first
American air attacks against North Vietnam in 1964, and whose fighter
squadron 51 flew Combat Air Patrols (CAP's) above the USS

from that day on until February 12, 1973, he was the senior naval officer

Bill Phillips’
portrayal of Army helicopters against a backdrop of Heidelberg Castle is
as much symbolic as literal. His
work depicts a fly-by of a UH-1H “Huey” and a UH-60 “Blackhawk.”
Yet the real story is told by the artist in these words: “The Army’s
newest helicopter, the ‘Blackhawk,’ begins a turn toward the viewer
and into the action of future events.
In the background, the ‘Huey” flies a steady course into the
pages of history.” |

William S. Phillips is
well known for capturing the speed and exhilaration of aircraft in flight.
He now transfers that skill to another popular conveyance – the
train – without leaving aviation behind.
Chasing the Daylight
portrays the best of both worlds with Phillips unique sense of romance and
excitement.
The Southern Pacific’s GS-4 4-8-4, number 4449, is the only Daylight
type locomotive still operating. It
was restored in1976 and used to pull the Bicentennial Freedom Train.
In 1984 it was repainted in the familiar Southern Pacific color
scheme – orange, red, black, white and silver – which is how Phillips
best remembers it.
“I enjoy trains and ride them every chance I get,” he says. “On one
such trip, while enjoying the late afternoon colors and the vast plains
which rolled outside the window, I noticed a small speck in the sky. As I
watched, it grew larger and turned in our direction. To my sheer delight,
it turned out to be an N2S-2 Stearman—a biplane produced for the Naval
Air Training Command. The image was so impressive that I promised myself I
would capture it on canvas one day.” |

at the Gate captures a rare moment from 1939 aviation history: the
amazing California Clipper in the late afternoon sunlight above the
spectacular San Francisco countryside and the newly opened Golden Gate
Bridge. “The 314 Clipper was one of Boeing’s famous and luxurious Flying Boats,”
says Phillips “and it represents the finest aspects in the romance of
flight. I wanted to preserve
this exciting chapter in aviation history and recognize the pioneer spirit
of Pan American Airways.” |

On August 6, 1940,
Germany mounted a massive air attack on Great Britain.
The Germans reasoned that if they could control the sky over
England, the country would soon fall – as Poland, Austria and France had
already fallen. What they had not
anticipated was the fierceness with which the English took to the skies to
do battle. Many young English
pilots would die preserving the freedom of their country.
But by September 15, 1940, their sacrifices would prove not to have
been in vain; the English and their allies had repulsed the German
takeover. Of Confrontation
At Beachy Head Aviation artist Bill Phillips says, “Shrieking over
the cliffs of Beachy Head, a Spitfire of No. 92 Squadron and a German
BF109E of 9/JG54 engage in a head-on confrontation during the first week
of September 1940. This
highly contested piece of real estate was to see many similar
confrontations during the crucial days between August 6 and September 15,
1940. Who was to obtain the
advantage in this confrontation of grim skill?
You be the judge.” |

had some fun with the title of this image, a pun on “court” and
“yard.” The soft spring evening naturally inclines the young
couple’s thoughts to love, but look at one of the second story windows -
you’ll find someone keeping a sharp eye on the proceedings!
Phillips fills the scene with many nostalgic touches, including the
Volkswagen Beetle and 1958 Chevrolet Impala convertible parked in the
driveway. |

“The title of this
painting was a natural,” says William Phillips, who incorporates the
thrill of flying into every airborne image, “as it captures the spirit
of the U.S. forces in those dark days after the initial Japanese victories
in the Pacific.”
But after the darkness
comes the dawn, and Phillips captures the swell of hope and courage
consummately as the planes soar above the broiling sea of clouds – truly
Dauntless Against a Rising Sun.
“It’s everything I
like doing with symbolic aviation art,” Phillips continues.
“Two SBD-3s of
VS-5, flying from the Yorktown,
are set against the dark clouds of war and a rising sun – the symbol of
the Japanese empire. Only in
this case, the sun is symbolic of hope, and the dawn of
a new era for the Allies, as the tide turns in the Pacific at the
Battle of Midway.” |

men who brought the dawn have been reunited to commemorate the events of
August 6 and August 9, 1945 – two days that profoundly altered the
course of history in the first century of powered flight.

Gay and is countersigned by crew members: Paul Tibbets, command pilot;
Thomas W. Ferebee, bombardier; Theodore J. Van Kirk, navigator;
George R. Caron, tail gunner; and Richard H. Nelson, radio

Through the memories of the men who were there, the stories behind
the atomic flights of Enola Gay and
Bock’s Car have been uniquely documented in limited edition fine
art prints and documentary film. Bock’s Car, done by Craig Kodera as an accompanying piece, makes
it a perfect suite. |

With plexi-glass
fragments from his helicopter’s windshield buried in his hand, calf and
thigh, Michael J. Novosel, pilot for the 82nd Medical Detachment steadied
the ‘copter' as another soldier pulled a wounded soldier to safety. Met
by intense ground-fire, Novosel still managed to save 29 soldiers by going
back into enemy fire again and again. For this, he was an Army Medal
of Honor recipient in the Vietnam War.
This print is a fine tribute to Army aviators, their crews and the
gunships that protected them. It is countersigned by both Novosel and his
son Mike, Jr. They were the only father and son team to fly in the same
unit - and each had the task of rescuing each other and flying more than
8,800 wounded to safety or emergency medical treatment. |
