Renowned for his precision and attention to detail, these stunning pencil prints by R. G. Smith bring to life some of the iconic warplanes from WWII. Each one captures the power, grace, and history in intricate, lifelike drawings. Perfect for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs, these prints offer a remarkable tribute to the heroes and machines of the skies.

Each print is 16x20 and on heavyweight paper.

The Man and His Art

Robert Grant Smith's aviation paintings and prints can be found in museums, and private collections, in the wardrooms of naval vessels, on the walls of the Pentagon and countless military installations, and in congressional and corporate offices. A selection of his paintings is on permanent display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

His powerful depictions of the extraordinary American victory in the great naval battle at Midway between 4-6 June 1942 have helped to raise public awareness and appreciation of the battle that turned the tide against Japan in the Pacific War. His Midway paintings have also helped to fill an historical void caused by the absence of any photographic record of the critical minutes when the tide of the battle finally turned in America's favor

Born in 1914 in Los Angeles, R.G. Smith developed an immediate lifelong love of aviation following Charles Lindbergh's successful solo crossing of the Atlantic in 1927 in the "Spirit of St. Louis".

R.G. Smith began his career in 1936 as a configuration engineer with Douglas Aircraft. For the next two decades, he was involved in the development of all Navy combat aircraft built by Douglas and its successor, McDonnell Douglas. While helping to design such classic naval aircraft as the SBD Dauntless, AD Skyraider, A-3D Skywarrior, F-4D Skyray, and his personal favorite, the A-4D Skyhawk, R.G. Smith was also developing a reputation as a respected artist. When asked to draw or paint for aircraft proposals, the largely self-taught artist used his knowledge of airplane construction and function to give life to the aircraft in his artwork.

According to R.G. Smith, the three essential elements in his approach to painting were accuracy, planning, and the power of suggestion. To ensure accuracy, he studied the desired scene or event, viewed his subjects from all angles, collected paint chips from aircraft, and in some cases, actually observed aircraft in combat and at sea. He planned each piece by sketching aircraft from several angles before painting them on the canvas, occasionally using models that he built as guides. Instead of painting every bolt and rivet, Smith blended colors to add motion and subtlety to harsh lines, allowing the eye and brain of the viewers to connect the dots and lines. The result was a sense of reality, atmosphere, and energy.

At the start of WW II, R.G. Smith was told that his work at Douglas was vital to the war effort and that he was barred from enlisting. To aid in new aircraft designs he was allowed to observe planes during carrier operations under combat conditions. He always regretted not being able to fight in the war.

Nearly thirty years later, when the opportunity arose to tour Vietnam as a sketch artist, his daughter Sharlyn tells us that "he jumped at the opportunity". He went on two month-long tours in 1968 and 1969. The Navy wanted him to portray its aircraft in action and afforded him the rank of captain to enable him to travel freely within the war zone. He joined river patrols along the Mekong Delta, search-and-rescue operations in Huey helicopters, 0V-10 Bronco attack missions and carrier operations in the Gulf of Tonkin. Although he went to Vietnam when he was in his mid-50s, he relished being in combat because, he wrote, "It was the only way to document the way it really was."

R.G. Smith's work is so highly regarded in military circles that in 1973 he was designated by the United States Navy "Honorary Naval Aviator" (number 10), a distinction previously bestowed on such notables as General James Doolittle, Admiral Hyman Rickover.

R.G. Smith created some two thousand paintings and drawings on a variety of subjects, but he is best known as an artist of naval aviation. He received several awards during his illustrious career, including Salmagundi Club's Louis E. Seley Award for "outstanding achievement in the field of oil painting"; the Fighting Hawk Award for "countless, enduring contributions to the art, science and safety of U.S. Marine Corps Aviation"; the American Society of Aviation Artists Franklin Mint Award; and the U. S. Naval Institute Award of Merit. In 1979, the Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron named him an Honorary Blue Angel.

In 1994, he became the first recipient of the "R.G. Smith Award" - named in his honor - by the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida.

In the year 2000, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington hosted for six months a special exhibition of twenty-five of R.G. Smith's aviation paintings and drawings under the title: "The old Master of the Sky".

Anker MacBook Pro Charger, Compact and Foldable 100W USB C Charger
Color: Arctic White
Perfect Blend of Power, Portability, and Reliability After using the Anker 100W USB-C Charger with my MacBook Pro for several weeks, I can confidently say this is one of the best third-party chargers I’ve owned. It combines everything I want in a charger: powerful performance, smart design, travel-friendly size, and the kind of reliability that makes you forget about constantly worrying whether your devices are charging correctly. First and foremost, the charging power is excellent. My MacBook Pro charges just as quickly with this charger as it does with Apple’s official adapter, which is impressive considering how much smaller and lighter it is. Even while running demanding programs, I haven’t noticed any slowdown in charging speeds. The 100W output is more than enough for laptops, and it works equally well for tablets, phones, and even accessories like my Nintendo Switch. I like that I don’t have to carry multiple chargers anymore—this one compact brick handles them all without a problem. The design is very thoughtful. The compact size immediately stands out. Compared to the bulkier Apple version, this Anker model takes up far less room in my bag, which is a big deal for someone who’s always on the go. The foldable prongs are another small detail that makes a huge difference. They flip in and out smoothly, and when folded, the charger doesn’t catch on anything or scratch my laptop or other gear. It feels designed with travel and everyday use in mind, which I really appreciate. Another thing that deserves praise is the build quality. Anker has a strong reputation for durable products, and this charger lives up to that. The casing feels solid and well-made, and even after extended use it doesn’t get excessively hot. I’ve had cheaper chargers in the past that either overheated, felt flimsy, or started making buzzing noises after a while. This one inspires confidence every time I plug it in. I’ve also tested it across multiple devices, not just my MacBook Pro. It fast-charges my iPad, my phone, and even my wireless earbuds with no issues at all. The intelligent power distribution seems to adjust perfectly depending on what I’m charging, so I don’t have to worry about damaging smaller devices or not getting enough juice for the bigger ones. It’s reassuring to know that I can toss this charger in my bag and it will handle whatever device I need, no matter where I am. One area where this really shines is portability. I travel a lot, and carrying around the original MacBook charger always felt bulky and awkward. With this Anker charger, I save space and weight in my backpack without sacrificing performance. It’s so much easier to manage at airports, coffee shops, and co-working spaces. The foldable design just makes it that much neater to pack away. Overall, this charger is an easy five stars for me. It has the speed and reliability of Apple’s charger, but in a smaller, smarter, and more portable package. Anker has nailed the balance between performance and convenience, and it’s a purchase I feel completely confident recommending to anyone who owns a MacBook Pro or any USB-C device that requires higher wattage. If you want one charger that can do it all, this is the one.

Works well, good price.
Color: Arctic White
Effective, fast charging. A little big and heavy but still lighter than a standard Mac charger. Works on my Macbook and my android. Got my Macbook from 0% to 50% in about 30 minutes, while I was using it.

This gives me peace of mind knowing that my devices are being charged safely without the risk of any damage.

The inclusion of a USB-C to USB-C cable would have been a nice addition, as it would provide a complete package for charging devices. Additionally, a travel pouch or case to keep the charger and cable organized during travel would be highly appreciated. In conclusion, the Anker 100W USB-C Charger, PIQ 3.0 Compact and Foldable model, is a reliable and convenient fast charger that delivers on its promises. Its impressive charging speed, compact design, and wide compatibility make it an excellent choice for anyone in need of a powerful and portable charging solution.

Great charger, works as intended.
Color: Black
Works great, I’m able to use my Legion Go S docked to my TV with this charger whereas a 65W charger it would slowly discharge. Highly recommend for PC handheld users.
