5.0 out of 5 stars Fine Collection by one of the "Greats" in Aviation Art., March 12, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Frank Wootton: 50 Years of Aviation Art (Hardcover)
Frank Wooton is a long way from being the first aviation artist, but he will be remembered as one of the pillars of the first generation to bear the title "aviation artist". This book brings together some of his most popular work in a thoughtful collection. The biographical intro and the pencil sketches are a very nice touch. Frank Wooton's strong landscapes probably had a great deal to do with pushing aviation art over the top and gaining serious recognition as "art" instead of meerly "illustration". This is a very generous collection of his work through the years, with heavy emphasis on his WWII combat art. The book is nicely done. One quibble! The dust jacket displays art (Mosquitos in flight) that is not to be found anywhere inside the book. I find this very annoying. The dust jacket is the first thing to go, and I find myself taking great pains to protect it so that I can continue to enjoy this painting. J. Campbell Martin

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, July 27, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frank Wootton: 50 Years of Aviation Art (Hardcover)
This is a gorgeous book. Frank Wootton's art somehow brings the majesty and beauty of these airplanes, and the sadness but honour of the 20th century wars, more to life than could ever be conveyed by photography. A stunning book.
