Don Feight
Feight Studios was established in 1994 by Paula & Don Feight inspired by the aerospace and aviation art Don was producing at his job at Lockheed Martin. Don has worked at Lockheed Martin for over thirty-three years as a graphic artist. Airplanes have been a lifelong passion from his early years living on Air Force bases, model building, and drawing airplanes, through the eventual building and flying of a homebuilt Glasair RG aircraft later as an adult.
Much of the inspiration for Don's aviation art comes from his experiences during as a pilot. The low-level flight over the water in "Madman," the blue hole in the dark storm clouds in "Lightning," and the spinning ground in "Performance" are a few examples of experiences of actual flying used to produce aviation art images.
Unlike many aviation artists, Don's passion is for the aircraft and flying above all else.
"Harpooned" Limited Edition Print by Don Feight
The WWII Lockheed PV-1 Ventura was a Navy patrol plane based on the commercial Model 18 Lodestar. Even as production began on the Ventura, Lockheed started design work on a version that would better suit the Navy's needs, the PV-2 Harpoon. With an increased wingspan came greater payload and fuel capacity. A redesigned tail improved ground handling and single-engine control. Production was begun late in 1943 and Harpoons saw Pacific theater action in early 1945. Harpoons carried out armed reconnaissance mission as well as rocket and bombing attacks until the end of the war. By the end of WWII almost half of the Navy patrol squadrons were flying the PV-2. The Harpoon became the Navy's standard fleet patrol aircraft for several years after the war until the new Neptune started coming on line. Harpoons served into the 1950s with Navy reserve squadrons.
