There is few fascinating paintings by Shigeo Koike, definitely best aviation artist! I will highlight his Nieuport over the blue sky and another one, low level SE.5.

Cheers

WvK, thanks for the vote!

This one gets my vote. "The Sun Sets on Werner Voss", by the late, great Wilson Hurley.:

WoW..that's the best version of that I've seen.. That's outstanding... The lighting is "highlight" in that one for sure.

Thanks for posting that.

I dont have a favorite...too many great works , all awesome in their own way.
