RAF Museum, Hendon

The RAF Museum Fine Art Collection is, arguably, the best collection of military aviation artwork in the United Kingdom representing the people, aircraft, equipment pertaining to the Royal Air Force and its predecessors, the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. The collection currently holds more than 6,500 works in the form of paintings, drawings, posters and other printed ephemera. There is also a small sculpture collection. The strength of the collection lies in its holding ranging from 1920 to about 1955, though there is much World War I material, some 19th century ballooning material and a selection of post 1945 pictures. The Museum is fortunate in holding the majority of the works selected for the RAF by the War Artists Advisory Committee covering World War II. There are works by Charles Cundall, Thomas Hennell, William Hooper of 'Pilot Officer Prune' fame, Eric Kennington, Fred May, Paul Nash, Roland Pitchforth, William Rothenstein, Julius Stafford-Baker and Frank Wootton.

The Royal Air Force Museum at Cosford near Wolverhampton displays an equally large and important part of the collection.
