The Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9, nicknamed the "Langnasen-Dora" or Long-nose Dora, was an interim production model designed to fill the need for a fighter with improved high-altitude performace. Competitive with contemporary fighters the Dora was not enough to stem the overwhelming tide of Allied aircraft opposing it late in the war.

This painting shows B-52H 61-0035 on a typical patrol flying high over the Arctic Circle. During the early 1960's B-52's armed with the nuclear tipped AGM-28/GAM-77 Hound Dog missiles flew airborne alerts in an operation nicknamed "Chrome Dome". These operations to safeguard the country against a possible Soviet nuclear first strike often took place in the cold skies north of the Arctic Circle.

B-52H 60-0001 the "Memphis Belle IV" is currently stationed with the 2nd Bomb Wing, part of the "Mighty Eighth" Air Force based out of Barksdale AFB Louisiana. This aircraft has seen action in both Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq. This B-52 is the first production 'H' model off the assembly line and is still flying 49 years after being built.

During the summer of 1916 the German Naval Airship L-31 wrought terror on the English population. Commanded by Kapitanleutnant Heinrich Mathy, the most fearless and capable of all of the German Zeppelin officer corps, L-31 struck deep into the heart of London on several occasions inflicting grievous damage. On the night of the first/second of October, 1916 the Zeppelin was caught by the flimsy BE2c airplane flown by Second Lieutenant W.J.Tempest of the Royal Flying Corps who shot L-31 down in flames just oustide of Potters Bar to the north of London. Even though Zeppelin raids continued sporadically afterwards the heart had been torn out of the German strategic offensive.

The F-105G was designed to suppress enemy air defense systems. It was fitted with a variety of devices designed to locate, identify, and jam the radar systems of enemy surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). It was equipped with the AGM-45 Shrike anti-radiation missile as its main armament. This missile was designed to lock onto, seek, and destroy the radar sites used to control the enemy SAMs. The Shrike was later supplemented by the larger AGM-78A Standard ARM missile which provided an expanded set of capabilities to the aircraft. The "Wild Weasel" mission was an extremely dangerous one, a frequent saying amongst the crews was "First in, last out" meaning that the Weasels were the first planes into a hostile area and the last to leave as they provided protection for the strike force.

The F-105D Thunderchief or "Thud" was the major production variant of the F-105 series. The "Thud" performed more missions and delivered more bombs over North Vietnam during the "Rolling Thunder" campaign (1966-1969) than any other U.S. Air Force airplane. It also suffered the highest loss rate of any USAF plane during the Vietnam War with many of its pilots falling to the intense air defences over Hanoi. More than half of the Thunderchiefs built were lost in combat. This painting is dedicated to all of the brave F-105 pilots who flew into harm's way over North Vietnam.

Pictured are an F-105G "Wild Weasel" and a bomb-laden F-105D. Tasked with the dangerous mission of hunting down and destroying enemy Surface-to-Air Missile sites (known as SAM sites) the two different versions of the Thunderchief, or "Thud" as it was sometimes called, would often work together.

This B-58, "The Firefly", crewed by Maj. Elmer Murphy, Maj. Eugene Moses, and Lt. David Dickerson won the prestigious Blériot Trophy outright by flying a closed course at an average speed of 1,302.07 mph. On May 26, 1961 while enroute to the 1961 Paris Airshow "The Firefly" won the coveted Mackay and Harmon trophies. The crew for this record setting flight was Maj. William Payne, Capt. William Polhelmus, and Capt. Raymond Wagener. Tragically on June 3, 1961 the return crew consisting of the Blériot Trophy winners crashed after departure from Le Bourget killing all onboard.

The F4U Corsair was perhaps the best naval fighter aircraft to see service in World War Two. It was the first U.S. production single-engine aircraft capable of achieving 400 mph in level flight. In production for thirteen years it had the longest production run of any propellor driven fighter aircraft. Nicknamed the "Whistling Death" by the Japanese during WW2 it also gave exceptional performance during the Korean War where it served as one of the principal Navy and Marine ground attack aircraft.

Pictured are two F4U Corsairs cruising over the Pacific Ocean. It was initially cooly recieved by the U.S. Navy who thought it difficult to land on a carrier. The Navy quickly passed the new fighter to the Marine Corps where it was most welcome and used to great success against the Japanese. The Corsair also served with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm who demonstrated how to safely operate the aircraft from carrier decks. Afterwards the aircraft found favor with the U.S. Navy as well.
