"In Through The Back Door" by William S. Phillips, WWII Themed Lithograph, 1981
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Presented, is an exciting 1981 color lithograph by William “Billy” Phillips. Titled Through the Back Door, the lithograph depicts an American P-47 Thunderbolt pursuing a Luftwaffe bomber on the famous D-Day of WWII. Also referred to as a “Jug,” the P-47 was the largest and heaviest fighter aircraft powered by only one reciprocating engine. It was armed with four machine guns on each wing making it lethal for ground attacks. The busy scene focuses on the diving P-47 with “Miss Behave” painted on the side, but is full of action throughout the work. Providing a sense of movement, the background is blurred with multiple airplanes both in flight and on the ground. Fire and smoke billow from the field putting the viewer in the middle of the dramatic scene. The artist, William “Billy” Phillips is a renowned aviation and landscape artist. He is well-recognized and has received many awards for his artwork. Early in his career, Phillips was commissioned by the Royal Jordinian Air Force as an artist and later served as the U.S. Combat Artist. The U.S. awarded Phillips the Navy’s Meritorious Public Service Award and the Air Force Sergeants Association’s Americanism Medal. The celebrated artist additionally won the Art History Award twice and is one of the few individuals to be exhibited in a solo show at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.

Antique, New and Vintage Aviation Objects

Indulge in the thrill of flight without leaving your home. Find a collection of antique, new and vintage aviation objects on 1stDibs that will unquestionably elevate your interior design.

Whether you’re drawn to scale models of airplanes or detailed technical drawings that depict 20th-century aircraft engineering in general, vintage aviation collectibles are bound to stir conversation and add character to any shelf space or barren wall in your home. As decorative flourishes or sculptural statement-making additions to your home office, living room or elsewhere — from desktop trinkets to authentic fighter-plane propellers positioned as conspicuous wall art that demands attention — aviation objects pay homage to a long history of innovation as well as to the childlike excitement and sense of wonder that persists every time we board a plane.

We’ve trained our eyes on the sky, dreaming of flight, for centuries. While history shows that pioneering aviator duo the Wright brothers wouldn’t leave the ground for a sustained flight in a powered aircraft until the early 1900s, inventors, venturesome industrial designers and artists all over the world were ready for one much sooner.

During the 16th century, Renaissance painter Leonardo da Vinci’s notebook drawings of birds as well as human mechanical flight and famed blueprints for a “flying machine” captured imaginations and inspired future artists. Modern-day aviation fans might take to framing technical drawings and sketches of aircraft for a salon-style hang as a tribute to the history of air travel in their home. The breathtaking mid-century artwork of Italian aviation advertising draftsman Riccardo Cavigioli also makes for rich vintage aviation wall decor, telling stories of human ingenuity in watercolor paintings and pencil sketches.

On 1stDibs, find vintage aviation collectibles made from wood and metal in all shapes and sizes to meet any furniture style and decor plan that you may already have in place.
