A trio of Bell Huey UH-1s deliver ARVN Rangers to a drop zone in the
central Highlands of Vietnam during 1970. The ubiquitous Huey saw action
in an enormous variety of roles, Vietnam being the first true helicopter
war, and it will perhaps be remembered by many a grateful GI for its
(and its crews) part in many hundreds of daring rescues amid the
unyielding and unfamiliar terrain of south east Asia.
Fork Tailed Devil (Lightning) by Ivan Berryman
It was during the inter-war period that a reawakening interest in twin
engined fighter design prompted several countries to investigate a number
of revolutionary concepts, of these only the Lockheed's sleek and unconventional
P.38 was to be put into large scale production, proving to be a versatile
and dominant fighter possessed of extremely long range, good speed and
manoeuverability and a formidable armament. When production ceased in
1945, 9,923 examples of the P38 "Lightning" had been delivered.
Midway - The Setting Sun by Ivan Berryman

carrier Akagi during the Battle of Midway.
Predator by Ivan Berryman The extraordinary Lockheed F.117A Stealth fighter proved
an awesome sight when at last it was revealed to the world in 1990,
and it was soon to distinguish itself in combat in the deserts of the
Middle East during the Iraqi campaign of 1991. Predator
depicts an example of this inspired machine at altitude against an evening
sun, benign and at the same time menacing, an intriguing testament to
mans conquest and exploitation of the skies.
