Each painting is reproduced in full colour and discussed in detail. The artist explores the background to each piece and his methods of research, and explains how he develops a painting from its initial concept to completion on the canvas. His revealing comments are supported by a wealth of colour detail of the paintings, and preliminary pencil sketches. There are also some fascinating behind-the-scenes stories of Robert's meetings with some of the finest aviators in history, a number of whom have contributed their own personal recollections to the book - including first-hand accounts of the aircraft they flew in combat. Combining a visual feast of highly acclaimed art with a rare glimpse into the artist's working methods, this book is eagerly sought by all aviation enthusiasts.
