AVIATION ART
The development of the fighting aircraft gave
warfare a new dimension. Quickly emerging from simple
reconnaissance machines to become deadly fighters and bombers during
World War One, the aircraft was a critical element by the beginning of
World War Two. Our galleries chart the rise of the fighting
aircraft from humble and flimsy beginnings through two world wars and on
to jet power, the speed of sound, and the modern aircraft which defend
our skies today.
The history of military aviation, and the legends
that populate it's history, captured through fine art. |

NAVAL ART
Naval power has been significant throughout
history, and our naval art galleries show the key moments and ships in
the history of war and peace on the seas. From the Spanish Armada
and the battles of Nelson, through the conversion from sail to steam in
the 19th century, and on through the burgeoning Victorian navies to the
epic battles of the Great War. The iconic ships of the early to
mid 20th century are shown as we move into the second world war, and
beyond to modern warships and the use of naval air power.

Wolves at Saint Nazaire by Anthony Saunders. (APB)

Saint Nazaire was home for two U-boat flotillas: 7. U-Flotille, the Wegener Flotilla and 6.U-Flotille, the Hundius Flotilla. It produced some of the top U-boat commanders including Topp, Endrass, Prien and Kretschmer. The base reached a peak of activity in mid 1943, however, by the end of the war the entire port had been flattened by the allied air forces. The only buildings to survive the onslaught were the bomb proof U-bunkers which can still be seen to this day.
