Welcome to
my 'web' home-- Red
Banner Aviation!
I am
historian and profile artist Erik Pilawskii. Red Banner was
launched in 2011 to serve as a parent vehicle for my aviation related
activities, attempting to incorporate these 'under a single roof' (as
one
might say). Whether it's Warbird Colour Services, profile art posters,
scale line drawings, archival work, book editing or self-publication
which takes your fancy, you should find it here.
Please use the
main subject
category buttons, above, to navigate the site. News, features and
highlighted items will appear below. I hope you enjoy your stay....
 For
those new to the topic, some basic introductory information
is available on WW2-era Soviet Air Force camouflage and markings, to
include digital
colour chips.
