VF-27 Artwork I.D.

[Mike1950]

Can anyone tell me who the artist is that did this VF-27 Hellcat artwork. I need the name to get his permission to use it in a book I am writing on VF-27 in WW II. Thanx.

Sidebar: I knew and corresponded with Fred Bardshar (RADM ret) who was XO/CO--and I never thought to ask him about the markings!
Sheesh.

I'd email asisbiz . com, link at the bottom of the page. You need permission to use the artwork on their webpage, unless they commissioned it, then they would for sure have the artists details.

Is by far the site that uses blunt copies from books etc. You should hear writers about it.
It is a very dark joke to ask permission to use a perhaps stolen artwork to use yourself.
Get the books were the are from, ask publisher.

Can't read the name on that artwork...the artist should consider clarifying it if they want any business!

Squadron/Signal Publications has a profile of "Paper Doll" showing the right side which has the name and kill markings. Unfortunately the artist, Don Greer passed away last year but the publisher may be able to help you

Didn't know he passed away, but he must have been getting on I guess.

Found this just now on the Asisbiz site for example... it is from the Eduard model instructions...

Does anyone have color photos of the shark-mouth VF-27 Hellcat previously owned by the Yanks Air Museum? I need it for a book I am writing on Fighting 27in WW Ii. Thanks. Miike O'C.

Hi Mike 1950. I do believe there are a few shots already posted here. Where else would I have seen them? Try the search function in the Forum by typing your query.
