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.
"Navy Lib" Limited Edition Print by Don Feight
During World War II, the B-24 derived PB4Y-1 Liberator performed very well for the US Navy as a U-boat hunter in the Battle of the Atlantic and at the time was considered one of the best at the ASW task. However, in 1943 it was decided to fully navalize the aircraft as a long-range patrol bomber, so three B-24s were taken off the assembly line and reconfigured with lengthened fuselages, greater defensive armament, modified engine cowlings and a distinctive, single vertical tail. The resulting aircraft was designated the PB4Y-2 Privateer. With its 2,800-mile range, the Privateer was so useful that the Navy took delivery of 739 of them, though very few reached front-line service by VJ Day. The Privateer went on to perform great service in the Cold War as a radar and electronics-countermeasures platform. Following service with the US Coast Guard, the aircraft was retired in the early 1960s.
