    Description

    Douglas Bader was one of the legendary Names of WW2. His bravery and determination have provided an inspiration to many over the years. In 1931 Bader lost both his legs in an aircraft crash attempting some low-flying aerobatics. This cold cast Bronze Douglas Bader Bust is made entirely by hand by sculptor Peter Close in his studio in Somerset.  Edition 3/250.
    Peter Close's personal love of aviation and military history led him to create a series of bronze portrait busts of famous and inspirational military figures and aviation heroes. After the success of these busts Peter then created his equally fine series of limited edition bronze aviation art figures depicting airmen and aircrew from World War II.
