Matthew Yee, a graphic designer with over 16 years experience in the industry and a longtime war-bird fan, has been recently working with aircraft illustrations-- which has been a field he has been longing for. Instead of traditional medium such as oil painting and watercolor, Mathew does his illustrations with computer graphics. When he creates his illustrations, he researches and studies the developments of each aircraft and the history associated with it. 

The TBF Avenger has been always one of Matthew's favorite aircraft. When he was doing the above TBF Avenger illustration, Matthew found our website and was deeply moved by Loyce Deen's story. He decided to do his Avenger illustration with Loycee Deen's plane. With Gregg Mastriforte's support (the creator of Loyce Deen Tribute page http://www.loyceedeen.org), Matthew was able to get in touch with Mr. Michael Cosgrove's (son of Lt. Robert Cosgrove who was the pilot of Deen's TBF); and also with Berth's (niece of Loyce Deen), and got their support for using photos of the crew on his artwork.

Besides this TBF artwork, Matthew also has a P-51D Mustang (with George Preddy's Cripes A' Mighty marking), and the work in progress of a P-38J (with Richard Bong's marking). If you would like to purchase or see more of his work visit him on facebook.

_USS Bunker Hill was one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during WWII for the US Navy. She was commissioned in May 1943, and served in several campaigns in the Pacific Theater of Operations, earning eleven battle stars and a Presidential Unit Citation. The ship was named for the Battle of Bunker Hill. It was the second US Navy ship to bear the name. During the remaining months of WWII, the ship fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima; the 5th Fleet raids against Honshū, the Nansei Shoto and the 5th and 3rd Fleet raids in support of the Battle of Okinawa. The ship became one of the most heavily damaged carriers to survive the war.
