After many years of working with Nick, helping with his research and promoting his work at many air shows and forming a close friendship we decided in 2007 to join forces and create a partnership as The Flying Pencil Publications, we were delighted to announce the release of Nicolas Trudgian's much anticipated new book in 2008. The Nicolas Trudgian Aviation Sketchbook.
Devoted exclusively to his pencil work, it is packed with over one hundred superb drawings,
and is available in seven fantastic editions. 
Nicolas was currently celebrating 25 years in the field of aviation art where his pencil drawings are widely regarded as the very best. We have moved on from this to produce a superb collection of limited prints and in 2010 launched A Summer for Heroes which was to raise funds for the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust at Capel-le-Ferne,
Nr. Dover. There are a number of projects in the planning so please keep checking our website for up to date details.

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.

A SUMMER FOR HEROES
By
Nicolas Trudgian

The white cliffs of the south east coast of England, standing defiantly in the face of would-be invaders, are now
synonymous with the pivotal conflict in the summer of 1940, the Battle of Britain, the Royal Air Force's finest hour.
Spitfire pilots of No.65 Squadron, heading home to re-arm and refuel, display the exuberance of youth as they swoop low in celebration over a downed Bf109. Above them, a squadron of Hurricanes climbs out to intercept raiders above
the Channel where the swirling paths of duelling aircraft are traced in vapour, high in the summer sky.
