About "Vought Corsair F4-U & USS Enterprise CV-6"

The CHANCE VOUGHT CORSAIR F4-U depicted on the USS ENTERPRISE CV-6 during WW2.
The Corsair was designed as a carrier-based aircraft. However its difficult carrier landing performance rendered the Corsair unsuitable for Navy use until the carrier landing issues were overcome when used by the British Fleet Air Arm. After the carrier landing issues had been tackled it quickly became the most capable carrier-based fighter-bomber of World War 2.
Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter of World War 2 and the U.S. Navy counted an 11:1 kill ratio with the F4U Corsair.
The Enterprise was the seventh U.S. Navy vessel to bear the name and was a Yorktown-class carrier. The battle fleet included the USS Chicago CA-29, a Northampton class heavy cruiser which is sailing on the Enterprise's starboard.

About Don

I am a multi-faceted artist and illustrator, Senior Professional Architectural Technologist, former advertising exec and keen photographer. I work in oil, water colours, charcoal, pencil, Acrylics, pen and mixed-media including digital art. I enjoy all types of subject matter ranging from wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, portraits - across the spectrum to architecture, contemporary art, aviation, ships, trains and still life.
My aviation works are well researched and the aircraft and locations are accurate as possible so that they provide a true historical record for others to appreciate.

EDUCATION & PRIVATE TUITION:
I attended art classes from a young age and was privately tutored by Andre' Vancoillie, well-known local artist and lecturer at the age of 16 years as well as Paul Lavender in water colours.
My appreciation to Mrs Chilcott, my high school art teacher who saw something in me and went out of her way to mentor me by giving me extra art lessons in her spare time.
I matriculated in art at the PE Technical College and mention Mrs. Hill who assisted me greatly.

PRINTS AVAILABLE:
All my works are available as prints.
