Hi everybody,
My name is Mark Styling and I illustrate books in the aviation field. I am currently working on a book about the B-29 in WWII to be published by Osprey in the UK. I need to produce a side view of at least one aircraft from each bomb group.
If anyone has photographs and information relating to a particular B-29 crewed by yourself or a family member and this info can be sent to me, I would be able to include the airplane in the book.
The information I would need:
Photo of nose art
Photo showing tail/fuselage markings preferably, but I would need to be given this information.
Serial number if known.
Regular crew/combat information would be of great interest.
I get a lot of satisfaction from producing an illustration that has a personal link to a particular crew member. This is far better than simply illustrating an airplane from a published photograph. In return for assistance that enables me to produce an accurate side view I would be able to give you a high quality colour print of the illustration measuring 14inch wide.
Information and pictures can be E-mailed to me at
mark@styling.demon.co.uk. Photographs can be scanned and sent as E-mail attachments at the highest resolution possible.
Information about me can be found at the Osprey website at
http://www.ospreypublishing.com. I have previously illustrated 'B-17 Units of the Eighth AF' among others for this respected publishing company.
Any help will be gratefully received.
Mark
