Knight and Heaslip were experienced military men and formally trained artists who, combining an authenticity of experience and an artistic mastery of illustration, produced powerful artwork that influenced a generation of Americans, creating air-minded adults and youngsters, many of whom flocked to US military service after Pearl Harbor. Aviation became deeply embedded into America's culture during the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Americans became fascinated by aviation celebrities, watched air spectacles, aviation movies and newsreels, and devoured books, aviation industry ads, magazine articles, and Sunday comics featuring pilot heroes. Artists Knight and Heaslip - both of whom were adept as draftsmen, painters and printmakers - fuelled the imagination of these Americans through prolific illustrations and artwork that appeared in many diverse publications of the time. Over a period of almost twenty years, Clayton Knight and William Heaslip championed their love of flight through their art, and they did so with enthusiasm, integrity, and generosity. This book, featuring over 400 illustrations and photos, is a tribute to their legacy. 600 10 $a Knight, Clayton, $d 1891-1969. 600 10 $a Heaslip, William $q (William John), $d 1898-1970. 650 0 $a Illustrators $z United States $v Biography. 610 10 $a United States. $b Air Force $y 20th century $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Fighter planes in art $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art and war $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Pictorial works. 600 17 $a Knight, Clayton, $d 1891-1969. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01582365 610 17 $a United States. $b Air Force $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00538280 611 27 $a World War (1914-1918) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180746 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 700 1 $a Hamady, Theodore, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103015358.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45BF53505D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
