William Phillips limited edition prints and canvases

“In the summer,” Bill Phillips says, “my wife Kristi
and I enjoy walking in a park near where we live whose
ponds are home to beautiful swans. During one of our
walks, we observed a young girl feeding two of these
graceful birds who, in turn, were making soothing
sounds of contentment. In Evening Song, I have brought
together both this experience and the peaceful feeling of
a late-spring evening of 50 years ago. It’s a romantic
journey to the past—hearts are displayed in the
shutters of each window in the house, and if you look
carefully at the pond in the foreground, you will notice
that it, too, forms a heart..

It is the last year of the war, and one of Colonel
Glen W. Martin’s fleet of B-29s, punnily named “Dina
Might,” surges over the clouds during its mission to
bomb the industrial cities of Japan.But it is more than
just the remembrance of a vital war effort. “This is not a
portrayal of a particular mission” says aviation artist
William Phillips, “but is rather a portrait, basically an
homage to the Superfortress.”

I November 14, 1965, Ia Drang Valley, Vietnam—Amidst the low brush, elephant grass and enormous sun-baked termite mounds, clouds of dust lazily drift away from the clearing nicknamed LZ (Landing Zone) X-Ray. In preparation for an air assault by troops from the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry, United States artillery has been relentlessly pounding away at the perimeter of the LZ.

At 10:48 the helicopter touches down, and Lt. Col. Moore, Sgt. Major Plumley, Capt. Metsker, Bob Ouellette, Al Bosse and Vietnamese translator Mr. Nik become the first boots on the ground at Ia Drang.

Helicopter pilots Bruce Crandall and Ed Freeman would go on to receive the Medal of Honor for their actions during the battle of Ia Drang, a battle which would go down in history as one of the most intense of the Vietnam War. This three-day struggle would later be documented in the best-selling book We Were Soldiers Once…and Young by Lt. Gen. Hal Moore (Ret.) and Joseph Galloway.

William S. Phillips compellingly depicts the chaos of LZ X-Ray in First Boots on the Ground. The piece is countersigned by Lt. Gen. Hal Moore, (Ret.), Lt. Col. Bruce Crandall (Ret.), (MOH), Command Master Sgt. Basil Plumley, (Ret.), Bob Ouellette and Al Bosse.

Doolittle asked that all the
raiders sign his painting, and
that each surviving senior
crew member sign a print
– now one of the most
valuable in existence.

On the 18^th of April, 1942 – 167^th anniversary of
Paul Revere’s ride – Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle’s B-25
leads the way to Tokyo for a bombing raid to show the
world that the United States is still alive and kicking
four months after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor.The 16
B-25 Mitchells, army medium bombers, have left the
carrier Hornet, and take individual courses for Japan at
200 feet above the waves.And now Doolittle sights the
enemy shoreline and veers past coastal vessels so he
can hit Tokyo from its less protected northern side.

Making its combat debut in Vietnam in 1965, the
Grumman A-6 Intruder provided U.S. Naval Aviation with
the capability to operate in some of the worst weather
in Southeast Asia. Guided by digital integrated attack
and navigation equipment, the aircraft ushered in a new
era of aviation technology that all but eliminated
visibility problems.

EVASIVE ACTION OVER SAGUMI BAY Click on image for enlargement	Shortly after bombing the Tokyo Gas and Electric Company, Pilot Lt. Harold F.Watson banks the B-25 Whirling Dervish steeply to avoid a Japanese cruiser that lay directly on the aircraft’s escape route to China. It was the ninth of sixteen aircraft to leave the carrier USS Hornet on the audacious April 18, 1942 Doolittle Raid on Japan. That United States Army Air Forces bombers could launch from a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier was inconceivable at the time. President Roosevelt claimed the aircraft came from a secret airbase in the mythical Shangri-La. American bombers striking the Japanese homeland and passing within sight of Mount Fuji, the most sacred mountain in all Japan, delivered a succinct message to the warring Axis nation: America, the Sleeping Giant, had begun to stir. Evasive Action Over Sagami Bay is an authentic historical document, offered as both a fine art print and canvas edition, countered-signed by American heroes that participated in the Doolittle Raid. This is a unique opportunity to own and preserve an important moment in aviation and U.S. military history.

GUARDIAN AT THE GATE click on image for enlargement	Point Bonita Light, at the North West entrance to the San Francisco Bay was the second lighthouse at Point Bonita. The first light was atop the narrow headlands and shown forth at 306 feet above the roaring breakers of the Pacific. The only problem was that it was so high that most of the time it was obscured by fog. In 1877 the Point Bonita light was relocated, with great effort, to the thin strip of rock called Lands End where it stands today as a guardian at the Gate. A welcome sight to those entering the San Francisco Bay from around the globe.	Canvas edition: 100 s/n Image size: 15 x 20 Price: $495.00 Ships in 2 to 3 days FREE SHIPPING ON THIS ITEM

THE HEAVENS PROCLAIM HIS GLORY click on image for enlargement	Throughout history man has built places of prayer and worship, from the great cathedrals of Europe to the quaint churches of Phillips Bay and the village of Cotswold Hills. From here, the highest point in Dogwood County, the bells tolls over the rural countryside and rises heavenward, proclaiming the good news of a loving God. But, no matter how grand orunique the works of man, they pale in comparison to the evidence of the great creation. Evidence we witness every day if we take the time to notice – for all creation sings God’s praise and truly the heavens proclaim His glory.

Harold Stearns, P-47 Pilot Col. Hub Zemke (Ret.)	On March 6, 1944, fire and smoke seared the skies above northern Germany. On this day, the U.S. Eighth Air Force suffered the worst single day of air warfare of World War II. The losses were staggering9 U.S. heavy bombers and 11 escort fighters, and 66 Luftwaffe fighters. But air warfare was not about numbers; it was about the bold acts of individuals, pilots and gunners, who risked their lives daily. William S.
