Demon of Rabaul by Ajay

Beautifully rendered and evocative art from Alexander Jay depicting the 'Demon of Rabaul' - Hiroyoshi Nishizawa - and his A6M3 Type 22 Zero. It is delightful in this age of cgi to see traditional media so uniquely and skilfully created. More please!

And more of Alexander Jay's splendid aviation art can be enjoyed at his own blog here.

Are there any others in the series - I'm thinking of the North Western Area of operations over northern Australia and the NEI, Java, etc.- and will prints become available?

Thanks for putting this up Nick.

Cheers,

I'd love to create some more portraits of various pilots, both IJA and IJN. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

As for prints, I'm currently trying to sort this out and should have them ready shortly.
