I finally got this one complete; it took longer than I would have liked. The idea for this one was to put focus squarely on the aircraft as it will be used on various products.
I chose to paint the well known "Briefing Time". She flew in the Mediterranean during WWII and was based out of Corsica. I chose as a backdrop to depict a rocky landscape typical throughout the Mediterranean region.
Very nice! The B-25 had to be one of the most versatile planes of the war.

Hey this is great Mark! There's so much to look at. The prop blur, cockpit, nose detail, and your backgrounds are always fine art in itself. Nice work!

Mark, I have a bunch of photos of Briefing Time, she is based at the Mid-Atlantic Air Force Museum in Reading, Pennsylvania. If you ever get the chance, I think it's the first weekend of June, they have their WWII Days air show, it's just the coolest thing, lots of WWII aircraft, Jeeps, reenactors... They are restoring a P-61 Black Widow there and you can see it's progress. Years ago, I met General Paul Tibbets and Jeffery Ethell there. If you go on my Jeep Page [link] there are some 35mm photos that I took there. In the picture of the USO girls in the Jeep, you can see the tail of Briefing Time's tailin the background in the upper left of the photo. -YD

Thanks Lane. Yes, North American was approching the height of it's brilliance. Soon they would be making Sabres, Super Sabres, the Valkyrie and Apollo space capsules.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
