CO-OPERATION by Keith Burns
The crew of a crippled B-17G Flying Fortress from the US Eighth Air Force receive emergency treatment from RAF medics after making a forced landing at an RAF airfield following a daylight raid deep into Germany.
To win the Guild of Aviation Artists� prestigious �Aviation Painting of the Year� is no easy task. The award, sponsored by BAE Systems plc � one of the largest defence and aerospace companies in the world � involves the very best aviation paintings submitted to the Guild�s Annual Exhibition, judged by an independent panel of experts. Winning the award is a monumental task, but in 2016 that is exactly what Keith did with this masterpiece, CO-OPERATION.
Using his superb technical ability to craft this dramatic and inspirational scene, it�s clear why this award-winning picture is held in such high regard. The title CO-OPERATION says it all � the close bond that existed between the Royal Air Force and the United States Eighth Air Force throughout World War II visibly expressed by Keith�s heartfelt image. RAF medics are quickly on hand to help the crew of a badly-damaged Eighth Air Force B-17G Flying Fortress that has made a forced landing on an RAF airfield. With badly wounded crewmen on board unable to bale out, the American bomber�s Captain has had no choice but to struggle back to England and put down on the first airfield he could find. It doesn�t matter that this is an RAF station � as the closest of allies, everyone is in this together.
