‘Sweet Arlene’
6.2 x 10 in., graphite on toned paper
2Lt. Arthur R. Bowers forms up over Essex during January 1945 in his P-51D Mustang, “Sweet Arlene.” Bowers flew about 30 combat missions with the 4th Fighter Group’s 334th Fighter Squadron from November 1944 through war’s end in May. Scoring six confirmed ground strafing victories, he was awarded the Air Medal with four OLCs and the Purple He…art for a neck wound over Germany when pieces of flak penetrated his canopy on March 20th.
Bowers originally hailed from Tiskilwa, Illinois, and passed away there in April 1990.

Shhh … I don’t want to say this too loudly since the studio gremlins are napping, but I do believe that I’m finished with everything on this small canvas except for the main aircraft and trees behind it and over to the left behind the blister hangar.
For those without a microscope, that’s Frank Klibbe’s last “Little Chief” airborne – note that when I mixed my reds for his nose band I couldn’t resist laying in Penrod and Sam’s as well.
I’ll work on those trees first, then wrap everything up with Johnson’s P-47.

Hi All (Yes Again)
Steven Heyen and his latest offering, A small painting I completed this week – Erich Hartmann’s, Me 109G-6 ‘White 1’ in late 1944. This one is for sale
This lovely serene picture that I can imagine many a pilot from all air arms during WWII must have experienced in the lulls between the intensity of aerial combat ?
I even used to have this as a plastic kit many moons ago while in my school days..

Thanks to http://warbirdsnews.com/tag/de-havilland-mosquito for some excellent coverage of our latest update and for the continued support of our project.
We’re immensely proud of the work being delivered by the team at Retrotec. Seeing the fuselage moulds take shape represents a giant leap forward for the project and the start of something special for all those who have backed us and continue to back us in returning a de Havilland Mosquito to the skies over the UK and Europe.
Can you help support this remarkable work?

This week I managed to pop into Retrotec to visit Guy Black and check the progress on the Fuselage Moulds…. well I was amazed and cannot tell you the sheer size of these things! We still need your support to finish them off so please if you can spare that £1 go to our website http://www.peoplesmosquito.org.uk for links to donate.
We will be organising for Club Members early 2020 a chance to see these engineering beauties up close!

Hi All,
Just came across this post on the HTPG Facebook page.
This is by the artist :- http://www.ngautoart.com/
It is hoped that the prints produced will raise some extra dosh for the project, meanwhile he is going to sell the original soon and hopefully will make enough money for the creation with any extra also going to the RB396 restoration project.

Hi All,
Simon Atack is at it again with this latest offering from 5/10 courtesy of:- https://www.facebook.com/SimonAtack
SHORT SUNDERLAND VS U-BOAT COMMISSION.
While you were all sweetly sleeping…Depth Charges and machine gun fire. I think this conveys something of the terrible… fire these magnificent flying boats could wreak on the enemy submarines.
The Battle Of The Atlantic was one of the most unmercifully bloodiest and costliest chapters of the second world war. Hunters became the hunted and the slaughter of human life was incredible. I’ve painted many Bomber Command paintings very happily. But every time I paint the war at sea like this….I need a moment.
U-boat next this coming week, then the Sunderland to finish off the job.
