Ron's Displays:
For many years we in the aviation art field depended upon the hand-signed autographs of our WW2 aviation
heroes to add historical depth to our limited edition prints, and offer unique pieces to collectors. A good idea in
concept, and one that I employed myself for many years, the genre' has become flooded with signed work.
I wanted to do something different, though equally special.
The excavation and collection of relic aircraft fragments,
usually pieces of aluminum skin with original paint or
data plates attached, is not a new hobby. Fans have
been doing this, especially in previously war-torn areas
of Europe, for decades. But the fruits of their labor was
a chunk of metal which, in itself, revealed very little
about its origins or unique significance.
My idea was to combine these pieces of metal, each with known historical background, with my original artwork
of the aircraft the pieces were from - to include specific unit markings and appropriate operational settings when
known - within tasteful wall-hanging displays. The aircraft fragment breathes history into the artwork that can
be physically touched, while my artwork reveals the life of the fragment itself. People always say of various
historical artifacts, "If this could only talk." My artwork gives these pieces of metal that voice.
