My Friend Wade Meyers Website

For anyone into 4th FG history and photos, as well as Wade's outstanding artwork, visit Wade's site. I'll link to his 4th FG page of Lt. Jack L. Raphael's photos. A worthwhile visit.

Wades a great guy, been sharing research and buying paintings from him for a couple of years now. Very helpful tyo fellow enthusiasts, and very talented artist.

Hey, great site that I didn't even know about.  That really inspires me to get back to work on some airplane drawings myself.  I've been lazy lately and not really drawing much, this was just what I needed.  Thanks!

A very dear friend gave me this signed print as a wedding present. I can't say my wife was as excited as I was.  :banana:

Wade is a top notch artist and a great guy.  He gave me permission to use some of his 4th FG art on the old 4th FG website.  I have two of his paintings.  One, Mustangs at Dawn, was sold out but I found a single copy at an out of the way art store online and nabbed it.

He sells the 4th FG combat diaries on CD and they are great reading.

I just wish I had enough cash to buy everything he does for the 4th FG.

Incredable sight. :aok I love the original pictures.

I'll be a visitor often. I think I'll end up being a customer too. I love aviation art.

He's always open to new projects too, so if you're lookin' for something specific, go ahead and ask. We were talking about a special one he was going to do for me and then offer as prints a year or two ago, but eventually it was put on the back burner due to my finances and his long list of commissions. But we still chat about it occasionally and we both still plan on letting it see the light of day.

So I won't tell you what it was. :)
