Even the most focused of aviators can't help but become distracted by the sight of Sam Lyons' extremely enchanting Red Bird. The seductive 21" x 15" illustration showcases a sensational scarlet Waco UMF-5 biplane in all its glory as it sits parked on an unpaved surface. The image's head-on vantage point treats observers to a fantastic view of several of the drawing's true-to-life characteristics: the Waco's two-blade Sensenich prop and Jacobs radial engine among them. Those capable of prying their eyes away from the aircraft will also appreciate the artist's attention to detail in the soothing background imagery. If you've not yet experienced the thrill of unbridled aviating in an open-cockpit taildragger, this picture is all the motivation you'll need to track down the nearest antique biplane.
