I COULD NEVER BE SO
LUCKY AGAIN  click on image for enlargement Countersigned by James H. Doolittle |
one of the most colorful and famous.James H. “Jimmy” Doolittle set many speed records and engaged in aerial acrobatics at countless air shows.He was also a test pilot and the first man ever to fly completely blind – using only cockpit instruments – from takeoff to landing. It is statements like these, in deeds and words, that make this living legend stand alone.Perhaps one of his most famous statements was “I would never want to relive my life; I could never be so lucky again.”It is therefore a fitting title for William S. Phillips’ fine art print, which makes the definitive statement of Doolittle’s remarkable life. I Could Never Be So Lucky Again is countersigned by Doolittle and accompanied by a complimentary copy of the General’s autobiography of the same title – where he puts into words what Phillips put into the art, and has his say about every aspect of his amazing career. |

IF ONLY IN MY DREAMS
 click on image for enlargement |
“The tranquility of this Christmas
evening, 1943, is
broken for a short time by sounds of a distant B-17. The aircraft, symbolic of the war, is now small and distant compared to the warmth and communion of family and friends gathered at home, but it offers a reminder of the sacrifices that lie ahead in the titanic struggle known as World War II.” |

I'LL HOLD YOU IN MY
DREAMS Click on image for enlargement |
The
American Homefront Series, an episodic look
at home during World War II, comprises some of William S. Phillips’
most popular and sought-after works. Now, for the first time in over
ten years, Phillips has created a new painting in the series: I’ll
HoldYou in My Dreams, set on a warm winter day just after the bombing
of Pearl Harbor in 1941. Our young Army Air Force Lieutenant stands out
from the crowd as he bids his girl goodbye.
Locomotive 4443 of the Noon Coast “Daylight” slowly eases to a stop at Santa Barbara Station.The next stop is San Luis Obispo, 119 miles up the line. With a scheduled ride time of two hours and eighteen minutes, a passenger might have time for dinner in the dining car—if he wanted to spend at least ninety cents on dinner, or splurge on the fresh mountain trout at $1.50. In the air over the station are two P-38 fighter aircraft on their first test flight, a mere day after rolling off the assembly line in Burbank. Full production of operational aircraft has begun and will continue around the clock. Young soldiers departing for war after Pearl Harbor faced the unknown road ahead with patriotic and passionate commitment and they held their heads high as they bid their loved ones farewell. |

INTO THE
TEETH OF THE TIGER  click on image for enlargement Countersigned by World War II Ace Don Lopez |
There’s more than one way to bring down an
opposing fighter, as 1st Lt. Don Lopez learned on December 12, 1943. The young airman had experienced his first “jing bao,” or scramble, just after dawn; soon he and his comrades of the 75th Fighter Squadron were at 6,000 feet over South Central China.Lopez ripped his P-40 into the middle of a flight of Japanese “Oscars” and quickly engaged one of them.The American and Japanese pilots flew directly at one another, firing steadily and scoring hits.Lopez expected his opponent to break off, but neither did so. Head-on only a few feet apart, the Oscar swerved right… too late.Lopez lost three feet off the end of his wing, but the Japanese pilot lost substantially more, including control of his aircraft, which plunged toward the earth.Undaunted, Lopez pressed the attack again, helping to bring down another Oscar… with his guns. There’s more than one way to bring down an opposing fighter … and Don Lopez, now Deputy Director of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum, scored enough victories to join the ranks of “ace” fighter pilots to emerge from World War II. Artist Bill Phillips’ careful research and sure technique present a stunning portrait of a classic warbird … while DonLopez provides the true-to-life drama for an exciting limited edition print. |

INTRUDER
OUTBOUND  click on image for enlargement Countersigned by Captain Eugene "Red" McDaniel |
“The painting occurs at the start of ‘Red
McDaniel’s
81st combat mission over Vietnam,” explains Phillips . “It was an Alpha Strike, which means a full press. It was on this mission that he was shot down.” Captain
McDaniel left with twenty-six other Navy aircraft
for Van Dien, a truck repair facility in downtown Hanoi. Despite his extensive experience, McDaniel had to bail out after his A-6 Intruder was hit by a surface to air missile.“He was captured by the Viet Cong and held in a prisoner of war camp,” Phillips says. “What makes him special was how he survived the torture of his captivity.” McDaniel was held for six years. And during that time, he displayed a courage and bravery in the face of physical and mental torment that elicited the admiration and respect of everyone who believed in freedom.That freedom was finally; returned to him. His convictions had been sorely tested, but “Red” McDaniel emerged victorious.. |

LATE SEASON BLOCK ISLAND click on image for enlargement |
Following
in the footsteps of his successful Inns
of Christmas series, William S. Phillips now begins Inns of the
Seasons, beginning with Late Season, Block Island. William and his
wife, Kristi, traveled to Block Island, Rhode Island, to research the
local inns and found themselves at the Atlantic Inn, owned by Brad and
Anne Marthens. “The inn gives you a feeling of Block Island as it must
have been many, many years ago,” says the artist. “It has that
laid-back feeling of a classic New England inn.”
Other timeless Phillips landscapes include If Only in My Dreams and Summer of ’45: And All Creation Rejoiced. |

LEST WE FORGET
 click on image for enlargement Countersigned by Gen. Curtis E. LeMay; B-17, signed by Bill Lawley; B-24 signed by Andrew Low; B-26 signed by James Farrell; P-51 Mustang, signed by Robin Olds; P-47 Thunderbolt, signed by Hub Zemke; P-38 Lightning, signed by Gerald Brown |
In a single print, “Lest We Forget” tells
the story of
the authenticity, nostalgia and collectibility. The print is actually composed of seven different Phillips paintings.The central image is a contemporary scene: a church yard not far from Peterborough, England.The memorial statue is dedicated to the 8th Air Force.Overhead streaks an 8th Air Force F-111 on a low-level training mission.The boy?As Bill Phillips says, he’s part of a generation that hadn’t even been thought of during World War II.Yet he and his generation are the beneficiaries of the sacrifice made by so many airmen during that conflict. Surrounding the main image are six smaller pictures that are historical in nature; they take the viewer back to the height of the Eighth’s action in World War II. Formed in August, 1942, this air armada struck time and again at the enemy’s heartland, providing air power for the eventual liberation of Europe. Signing the central image with artist Bill Phillips is Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, whose B-17’s and B-24’s provided the strategic might for Allied Forces.The smaller pictures all show classic aircraft in action, and are signed by famous flyers. |

THE LIGHT SHALL PREVAIL
 click on image for enlargement |
As Bill Phillips tells us, "My wife Kristi and I have
enjoyed several trips recently to the coastline along Oregon and California and one day we witnessed a storm that inspired the image here. The morning dawned gray with a strong wind, the sea as fierce as I’ve ever seen it, the waves crashing against the shore and throwing their spray skyward. We watched as afternoon waned and stood in awe as the sun broke through, bringing life to sea and sky. I thought of Psalm 27:1, ‘The Lord, is, my light and my salvation...’ for He, like a lighthouse, beckons us from the storms of life into the shelter of His love." |

THE LONG GREEN LINE
 click on image for enlargement |
Here comes the U.S. Army! A flight of
Bell UH-1
Hueys hammer through a misty, monsoon soaked Vietnam valley in the central highlands, heading for a landing area.These utility helicopters became the first “gunships” when a trooper stood in the open door, armed with a machine gun.Later the HueyCobra appeared – slim, speedy, agile, and dangerous, with heavy armament including a forward firing 20-mm machine gun.Bill Phillips says no veteran of the fighting there will everforget the unique sound of a flight approaching. A faint,distant muttering would fade in and out as bends I thevalleys muffled the sound.It would grow quickly to asudden thunder, rumbling between hills, echoing thelength of every glade that the helicopters darted throughon their way to or from the target of the day. |

THE LONG RIDE HOME
 click on image for enlargement |
In TheLong Ride Home, Phillips sets the P-51D
flown by Lieutenant Colonel Wayne Blickenstaff, and the B-17’s he’s escorting, against a sea of serene clouds and the colors of the sunset to signify the oncoming end of World War II. “It’s
late 1944,” Phillips explains. “It’s been a long day
and a long mission, but soon the fighters will return to base for debriefing and rest. I wanted to get that across with just the light and color.” He succeeds in conveying the hope these pilots must have felt as they returned to safety. The men may have been tired, but they were also satisfied with a job well done. The final gift was getting back to base in one piece. |

LOW PASS FOR THE HOME
FOLKS  click on image for enlargement |
Before the pilots head off for their first campaign,
they fly their BF109s over their home town to the delight of their neighbors. “This
happened numerous times in the United States
and Britain too,” Phillips says. “It was totally illegal, but the people on the ground loved it.Of course, if the High Command knew about it, they would go nuts. But here, there’s a real sense of innocence in nature-and in the pilots who came home before their first taste of battle to say,’hey folks, look at what I can do!’” |
