* MERVYN GOODE (BRITISH b.1948), A SUSSEX FARMHOUSE ON THE RIVER ARUN oil on canvas, signed 51cm x 67cm (20 x 26 inches) Framed Note: Mervyn Goode is one of the country's leading and most respected traditional landscape painters in oil. His first One-man Exhibition, at the Highton Gallery in London in 1970, which featured entirely oil paintings depicting the Hampshire landscape, was a 'sell out', and stimulated considerable interest and achieved rare acclaim from Collectors and Critics, both here and abroad. Numerous One-man Exhibitions held in London and the provinces; a One-man Exhibition in the U.S.A; countless invited featurings in Mixed Exhibitions in Public and Private Galleries throughout the country; featurings in television documentaries; and an ever-increasing demand from Collectors in the UK and abroad. Mervyn Goode's work has been reproduced by the Medici Society, Kingsmead Publications, the Bucentaur Gallery, CCA Stationery, Royle Publications, Country Cards, the Almanac Gallery, the Paper House Group, Phoenix Trading and Rosentiel's (who, during 2004, launched a publication of strictly limited edition prints of two of his paintings, each being an issue of 295 copies signed by the artist), and in numerous Fine Art Books and Periodicals.

Boeing B17E Framed Print by John Young. This limited edition print of John Young's Boeing B-17E Fortress was published in 1978 in England and is signed by the late General Ira C. Eaker. Shown is the Yankee Doodle of the 97th BG enroute to attack the marshalling yards at Rouen-Sotteville on August 17, 1942. General Eaker was aboard as the B-17E flew at 22,500 feet. This was the first offensive action of the American 8th Air Force by heavy bombers in World War II and took place, in rapidly clearing weather, in the late afternoon. Twelve Fortresses were involved, all completed their mission, and all returned virtually undamaged to their bases at Grafton Underwood and Polebrook. The targets, however, suffered extensively with an impressive proportion of the bombs falling on, or very close, to the aiming point. This was the first American heavy bomber daylight raid. Signed by General Ira Eaker. Framed to an overall size of 63cm x 58cm. Good condition.
