Superb Watercolour of Bell Airacobra Mk1 by W. F. Hepworth.

A superb proof watercolour by the illustrator W. F. Hepworth, used in the 1970’s books on aircraft and aviation used by Harleyford Publishing. This is of the WW2 Bell Aircobra MkI No 601 Squadron, Duxford, September 1941.
An interesting aircraft, the first used by the Americans in the battle of Britain, but on the whole, the aircraft wasn’t a success and was only used in a few other operations.
This beautiful watercolour has stunning detail and comes glazed and framed. It measures 25 x 15 inches, an imposing piece for any aviation collector.
