Trench Art
During the Great War of 1914-18 an art form flourished known as 'trench art'. Hand crafted creations from gifted soldiers were constructed using whatever material was at hand; bullet shells, wood, fabric and aircraft aluminium etc. Popular creatons were airplane models, lighters and different sized clocks. Authentic Models' flight memorabilia is a perfect replica of trench art, from a time when flight was still a hands-on affair.
Trench art continued to be made by service personnel during World War Two - the WWII Mustang Desk Model is a wonderful mix of WWI art depicting a WWII plane.
