More DescriptionIn a Willian S. Phillips paintinga tight formation of F-4 Phantoms screaming over Crater Lake, Oregon; the Blue Angels soaring near the California coast; a violent confrontation between a German Bf-109 and a RAF Spitfire above Sussexs Beachy Head; a line of Bell Hueys passing through a monsoon-soaked valley in Vietnam a viewer can almost feel the pressure on his body from the groundblurring speed of the plane, his mouth go dry in the desert air, or the chill on his neck when its so cold it hurts to breathe.

A wealth of aviation and military history by Ann and Charlie Cooper accompanies the paintings, as do Phillips own archival photographs.
