Robert Bailey has released a new limited print featuring F/A-18 Hornets of the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force). The Hornets are depicted taxying and taking off for a mission in Kosovo during the Balkan campaign.

Untouchable by Dru Blair

2008-03-15T09:15:51+08:00

Aviation artist Dru Blair has released a new set of limited edition prints depicting the famed Lockheed A-12 supersonic reconnaissance aircraft.
While there are many aviation art images of the A-12's more famous competitor and eventual successor - the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird - this is, to my knowledge, the first aviation art print depicting this revolutionary aircraft and Dru's offering helps address this disparity. This is the first A-12 painting included in the eHangar.com Aviation Art Prints Directory.
Untouchable depicts the first official sortie flown by an A-12 on May 31, 1967. Piloted by Mel Vojvodich, this first Black Shield operation was flown over North Vietnam to photograph Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) sites. Mele flew the A-12 at Mach 3.1 at 80,000 ft.

Eagle Force by Robert Taylor

As the question was recently asked - Do we need yet another Dambuster print - a number of eHangar.com members have also asked the same of Spitfire prints. Robert Taylor's latest offering is - yes - yet another Spitfire print! But what a print.

Operation Chastise � The Dambusters features Flt Lt Maltby and crew in Avro Lancaster AJ-J pulling up clear of the Mohne dam moments after releasing their Upkeep mine.

Dawn Sortie by Gerald Coulson

2008-02-28T03:46:02+08:00

Dawn Sortie is Gerald Coulson's first limited edition print offering for 2008, published by the Military Gallery. This unusual, panoramic, format painting features the Supermarine Spitfire MkI set during late 1940, is reminiscent of Coulson's typical sky scapes. It should look quite nice when framed up due to its unusual shape. Even the brochure detailing the print is in panoramic format, unlike the normal two-fold larger A4 sizes the Military Gallery prints.
