General comments on aircraft finishes National Aircraft Insignia Officialcolour cocuments Bibliography
This remarkable piece of research recreates some 60 years of South Africa’s military aviation history through the work of resident artist Ron Belling. Some 150 paintings covering 100 different aircraft types are all painstakingly reproduced in authentic scenarios, many of which were witnessed first hand by the artist. A short introduction by the artist is followed by the paintings and supporting text, starting with a visiting R A F BE 2 E and concluding with a Mirage F1 of the ZA A F. The book is rounded off with comments by Ron Belling about the various aircraft finishes and markings; a section that serves to emphase the lengths the artist has gone to ensure historical accuracy.
