Fogg in the Cockpit
MSRP: $32.95 (Catalog No. 9781612000046) Often referred to as the dean of American railroad artists, Howard Fogg's career spanned half a century and some 1,200 paintings. However, few of his enthusiasts have been aware of his career as a fighter pilot in the U.S. 8th Air Force during World War II. Fortunately Fogg left behind a diary, proving himself as adept with a pen as with a brush.
Based in England with the 359th Fighter Group, Captain Fogg flew 76 missions in bomber escort and ground attack roles at the controls of P-47s and P-51s. From his backstage encounter in a London theater with Lawrence Olivier and Vivian Leigh, to the chaplain's benediction on D-Day, to a mission escorting B-17s near the snow-capped Alps to drop supplies to French freedom fighters, his diary offers a firsthand look at his fascinating wartime career.
The diary is supplemented with material by Richard and Janet Fogg, and incorporates photographs, examples of Howard’s early paintings, political cartoons, sketches, and paintings that typify his railroad art. From the details of the airmen's life to the decisions that affected their fates, Fogg in the Cockpit presents a hidden side of one of the 20th century's great artistic geniuses.
