The Grand Finale ~ $475

Painted by Bob Casey in 1988, this dramatic painting recreates an actual combat action
which took place on May 3, 1945 and is related in RAF fighter Ace Pierre Clostermann’s
classic book The Big Show. He led a flight of 24 Hawker Tempest Mark V’s on a mission
against the German seaplane base of Grossenbrode, Upon reaching the deck after a power
dive from 10,000 feet, Clostermann, flying low and fast over the seaplane anchorage, encounters
three Dornier DO-24s skimming the wavetops at about 60 feet, attempting to escape. Two did not.
The painting is framed in a handsome walnut hardwood frame with black border and blue accent
trim. It has mounting hardware and wire and is ready for immediate viewing enjoyment. In
addition, the name of the painting, “The Grande Finale” is engraved on a brass nameplate
affixed to the bottom of the frame. Reasonably priced at $475. Shipping charge is additional
and will be calculated based upon method and destination. Canvas size is 24" x 30"



Island Queen ~ $450

Painted by Bob Casey in 1991. Sharing an airbase on Tinian with its “Little Friends”,
a Boeing B-29 Superfortress, gear down, flaps down, is on final approach for its
landing after another long mission to Japan. Just “another day at the office” for
the men of the Twentieth air Force. The painting is framed in a handsome Walnut
hardwood frame with black border and blue accent trim. It has mounting hardware
and wire and is ready for immediate viewing enjoyment. In addition, the name of the
painting “Island Queen” is engraved on a brass nameplate affixed to the bottom of
the frame. Reasonably priced at $450. Shipping charge is additional and will be

Moonlight Hunter ~ $450

Painted by Bob Casey. As if the fighters and flak were not enough! On this particular
evening, the RAF bomber stream had to contend with a big bright full harvest moon as
well. Predictably, the Avro Lancasters silouhetted by the moon, were easily picked out
by marauding German nightfighters. A Junkers JU 88C-1 has selected its prey and
opened fire. Will VRR “Ropey” escape the onslaught and return home at dawn? The
painting is framed with a thin black metal frame and come complete with mounting
hardware and wire, for immediate viewing enjoyment. Reasonably priced at $450.
Shipping charge is additional and will be calculated based upon method and destination.
Canvas size 24" x 30"



Torpedo Junction ~ $525

Painted by Bob Casey. A squadron of Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bombers has
been vectored to intercept a formation of Japanese warships and are going in for the kill.
The TBF in the foreground has released its “tin fish” and has the throttle at full power
to try and escape the murderous and desperate defensive fire of the lead destroyer and
heavy cruiser following behind. Dramatic action is the hallmark of this extraordinary
painting. The painting is framed with a thin black metal frame and comes complete with
mounting wire and hardware, for immediate viewing enjoyment. Reasonably priced at $525.
Shipping charge is additional and will be calculated based upon method and destination.
Canvas size 36" x 24".



Seconds to Live ~ $475

Painted by Bob Casey in 1989. This action packed dramatic canvas depicts a low level
surprise attack by B-25Js of the 354th Bomb Group “Air Apaches” upon a Japanese
airfield in the Pacific. As the startled Japanese run for cover, the parafrags descend
from the open bomb bays of the B-25s, creating havoc with the KI- 43 “Oscars” and
the KI- 61 “Tony” caught out in the open. The painting is framed in a handsome Walnut
hardwood frame with black border and blue accent trim. It has mounting hardware and
wire and is ready for immediate viewing enjoyment. In addition, the name of the painting,
“Seconds to Live” is engraved on a brass nameplate affixed to the bottom of the frame.

U-boats of WWII. They represent, left to right, top row: U-255, U-524, U-124, U-83, U-538
and U-201. Bottom row, left to right: U-203, U-64, U-436, U-47, U-48, and U-217. The black

PROFILES ON GLASS ~ $67 each

Blimey mate! This is a series of unique pieces of original artwork hand crafted  by a retired
policeman in Coventry, England, Steve Foster. These profiles are created using a mirror
to achieve proper orientation while being painted, and they feature fine detail, precise
scale and are truly unique. Many feature Squadron Crests or other inserts. Each Profile
on Glass features a mottled blue background, are signed dated and numbered, and are
framed in stained wooden frames, complete with the UK style string mounting method.
These are all originals, and as such, are quite unique, both in concept and in individuality.

so order now to avoid disappointment.  Reasonably priced at $67 each. Shipping charges
are additional and will be calculated based upon method and destination.
