William Phillips 'Give Us This Day'
In England during World War II, each dawn was brought the sounds of young men headed off to war. As daylight spreads across the tranquil countryside on this mist-shrouded summer morning, the aircraft of the 8th Air Force once again take to the air as they head for the dangerous skies of occupied Europe.

Representing not only an overt symbol of Allied might, the B-17G is also a more subtle indication as to the direction of the war. The plane carries no camouflage paint, since paint added weight, which cost speed and fuel. Stationed in Northamsted between April '44 and June '45, this B-17G is from the 398th Bomb Group, 602nd Bomb Squadron. Along with most others, the crew members ardent prayer was, "give us this day.

Alan Bean 'An American Success Story'
"An American Success Story shows Astronaut John Young in April of 1972 as he stood proudly on the moon," says artist Alan Bean," but for a while, it didn't look like he and Charlie Duke would even land. Orbiting the moon in their lunar module preparing for descent, a call came reporting an oscillation in the backup steering system. They knew that this might force them to return to earth as soon as possible. If the systems failed, the Apollo 16 and her crew would orbit the moon forever.
Immediately, mission control was alerted. Could they determine if oscillations would prevent the backup steering system from doing its job? Records were searched and tests conducted, in less than six hours the results were in: the mission could continue. We all breathed a collective sigh of relief. John Young would say later," It was a cliff-hanger, but the ground crew really came through, putting us right back in the ball game."

Alan Bean 'Reaching For The Stars'
In his book Apollo: An Eyewitness Account, Alan Bean says of Reaching for the Stars, "In one sense this is a painting of a universal astronaut, symbolizing everyone who flew in Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Apollo-Soyuz. It also represents those who fly on space shuttles and will fly on a space station and on future missions only dreamed about at this time. The astronaut is an emissary of us all, soaring away from ourplanet earth... But in a broader view [Reaching for the Stars symbolizes] all of us who posses a dedicated and adventurous spirit no matter what our interests or age."

William Phillips 'Phantom Thunder'
From the thrill of lift-off to the extraordinary exhilaration of in-flight action, Bill is truly a master of the aviation art world. Here, in his latest work, the artist presents us with an awe-inspiring panorama that pays tribute to a pair of American heroes.

"Flying through storm-tossed skies, Phantoms of VF-96, the Flying Falcons, return from a strike over North Vietnam," Bill said. "Aircraft #5800, ShowTime 100, was the 'CAG bird' flown by LT. Randy Cunningham and LT(JG) Willie Driscoll when, on May 10th, 1972, they downed three MiG-17s, added to their previous two, they became America's first Vietnam aces."

William Phillips 'Out of the Squall Line'
Following in the tradition of his previous aircraft carrier paintings, including Home is the Hunter, Threading the Eye of the Needle, Caping the Tico and America on the Move (several Sold Out at Publisher), William S. Phillips brings us the latest in his impressive fleet, reproduced at a "Nimitz Class" size. While researching Out of the Squall Line, Phillips spent ten days aboard the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), where he was given the opportunity to see every aspect of the ship and its flight operations. In a personal challenge, Phillips included at least one portion of each of the Truman's air wing in the painting.

The Truman is the eighth Nimitz Class aircraft carrier authorized to be built by Congress, and was christened in 1996 in Newport News, Virginia. The carrier has a crew of more than 160 officers and 3,200 sailors, and recently participated in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.

William Phillips 'Dauntless: Rising to the Sun'
Beautifully framed, historical aviation art makes a rare gift that carries a message of strength, patriotism, and memory. In his new release, artist William S. Phillips revisits the Dauntless, the standard ship borne dive-bomber (SBD) of the US Navy for most of World War II. (His 1991 print, Dauntless: Against the Rising Sun, is among Phillips' most collectible releases.) In this unique-format canvas, perfect for the study or library, three SBD-5s form up, enroute to a target on a morning mission early in 1944. One of the last squadron's to operate the SBD was VB-10 and it flew from the carrier USS Enterprise CV-6, the most decorated ship of the Second World War.
