Frank Wootton had the rare advantage of being able to take many of his aviation art references from first hand experience in the field as he toured combat war zones with the RAF during WWII. Having said that many would regard proximity to the enemy and the associated hardships as a rather dubious ‘advantage’. Frank, though makes light of it as he gives the personal account of life in the RAF that makes up the first part of this book.
The remainder of the book is dedicated to colour plates of Frank Wootton’s work, about 70 in all spanning his painting career and tackling subjects from WWI biplanes to Concorde.
