The 243rd and 230th de Havilland Canada L-20 Beaver utility aircraft
from the Downsview production line,
United States Army tail numbers 51-6789 and 51-6783,
break formation and head in different directions
in the early morning sunlight
over South Korea in 1952.
NEWS: June 2007 - NOW AVAILABLE AS A PRINT !
This painting was commissioned for a book 

" Canadian Airmen and Airwomen in the Korean War" 

by Carl Mills, to be published in 2007.

This painting has since been donated to Toronto Aerospace Museum, Downsview,

and now hangs in the hangar where the Beavers were actually assembled !
A comment was received from a retired Army aviator in the southern United States, made my efforts worthwhile, after all this scene was from my imagination!
