Took me until this evening what this reminded me of--GOSHAWK SQUADRON. Anyone read it?

Excellent painting. I love the war-weary stance and weather-beaten features of the pilot. Thanks for putting an all-too-rare human face on aviation art.

Great painting! And yes, it does bring to mind the main character in "Goshhawk Squadron" POTom. Boy, I bet it's been 35 years since I read that book. Going to have to dig it out and give it another read and see if it's as good as I remember.

Once again, a truly excellent painting Mr. Dietz!
