HIGH SUMMER 1940 By James Dietz
Image size 26 x 13 inches
Publisher proof limited to 100 copies

£125.00 + postage and packing

ROMMEL- THE DESERT FOX
Image size 30.5 x 14.5

Der Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel
Der Generalfeldmarschall
Image Size: 17 5/8" x 11.5"

150 Public Edition (Limited Edition, Signed and Numbered)

In the two images of the Afrika Korps Edition, James Dietz portrays Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel as both his opponents and vaunted Afrika Korps knew him. It made no matter is he was facing the Americans as Kasserine or the British at Tobruk, the Halfaya Pass or, ultimately, El Alamein. Rommel led from the front. He is depicted at the head of one of his armoured columns looking for the vulnerability that might provide an opportunity for lighting manoeuvre and victory. We see him in harms way, surrounded by the men whose hardships and dangers he willingly shared. His soldiers look to him with the love, respect, and confidence that battle-tested veterans reserve for the great warriors, and they wait for his word to once again hurl the panzers of the Afrika Korp across the desert.

The moment is captured - the great commander assessing the panorama of the battle before him; his soldiers anticipating the command that will send them forward; the machines that will work the will of commander and soldier. And above all, the element that was so unforgiving of both man and machine - the barren desert of North Africa.

I can offer this one set of James Dietz prints with the original signature of General Erwin Rommel

NICOLAS TRUDGIAN
AVIATION SKETCHBOOK

This much anticipated new book features more than one hundred
superb pencil drawings by the leading exponent of aviation landscapes

Most of the work presented inthis book has been created especially for it and displays the uniquely detailed and precise style of this widely collected artist. An excitingly wide selection of aircraft is shown, from the fragile machines over the trenchesof the Western Front to shapes that seem to be from another world like the SR71 Blackbird and the Sukhoi Flanker. Along the way there are many old favourites, especially of the Second World War, and even here are some 'rare birds' like the dornier 355, the Ta152 and the Boulton Paul Defiant. The drawings reflect the fascinating development of aviation in the twentieth Century, the many beautiful forms of these aircraft and the aircrews' heroic exploits in every corner of the world. It is rare for an artist with such obvious aptitude for mechanical subject matter also to be able to capture the beauty and atmosphere of the world's landscapes, and yet Nicolas Trudgian achieves this with both pencil and paintbrush. This book, devoted exclusively to his pencil work, is complemented bya number of aircrew who have added their personal recollections, some humerous, some poignant, about their experiences in the air and on the ground, embellishing a volume which readers will enjoy returning to again and again.

Specially commissioned for this stunning new book Nicolas Trudgian has portrayed the aircraft of
six of the greatest aviators of the Second World War:
Guy Gibson's Beaufighter of 29 Squadron, M.T. St J. Pattle's Gladiator of 80 Squadron,
Don Gentile's P51B of the 4th Fighter Group, George Preddy's P51D of the 352nd Fighter Group,
Adolf Galland's Bf109E of JG26 and Walter Nowotny's FW190A of JG54.

The prints are presented in a specially designed wallet which together with the book is contained in a hand-made slipcase.
Print size: 28cm x 24cm

Neville Duke's 'tropical' MKVB Spitfire of 92 Sqn.
The book and specially designed wallet containing the
prints are presented in a hand-made slipcase.
