ACES HIGH
Bringing passion into the world of aviation and military art – it’s part of our DNA! For more than 25 years Aces High has been a leading name in the world of aviation and military art. Respected not only for the quality of our service, but also for the wide and varied range of products – a feature that stems from our original yet ambitious desire to champion only the very best in the genre. Happily, along the way, the Advertising Standards Authority concluded that Aces High has become ‘the world’s foremost specialists in aviation and military art’. Always aiming to increase our range of original artwork, signed editions, exclusive books and a myriad of other collector items, we try to provide an unparalleled source for other like-minded enthusiasts. Throughout our journey we’ve been fortunate to meet many wonderful people: loyal collectors, many of the world’s finest artists but, perhaps more importantly, it has enabled us to share the company of hundreds of wonderful veterans, past and present. The heroic deeds of these men and women have not only formed the foundation of our business but have helped to shape the free world in which we live today – they are very special people indeed. OUR GALLERIES
Be prepared for a warm welcome – we pride ourselves on it! Enter the door to an Aces High Gallery and you’ll be greeted by an unforgettable sight. In front of you is a huge range of affordable items sitting side-by-side with wonderful original artwork. Our home gallery, host to frequent yet unique signing events with veterans, is situated in the historic market town of Wendover nestling beneath the beautiful Chiltern Hills, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, within easy reach of London. Many of the items on sale and display here have been created by our on-site framing studio, a place where old-fashioned craftsmanship co-exists with the latest technology. Originality and quality aren’t just words to our team here – they’re an obsession. Our second gallery is in France at the very centre of Ste-Mère-Église famed for its role during the US Airborne landings on D-Day. Many of the pieces on sale here, whether it’s an inexpensive post card or poster or a stunning original painting, relate to the Normandy landings of June 1944 and a visit to the gallery is a ‘must’ for anyone doing a tour of the D-Day beaches. Our third ‘gallery’ is mobile - we hold temporary exhibitions at many of the world’s leading military and aviation shows where you’ll find a selection of our finest and affordable pieces. The surroundings may indeed be temporary but the warmth of our welcome is guaranteed to be everlasting. WWW.ACES-HIGH.COM
The enthusiasts’ perfect online companion – we’re only a click away!

Few aircraft command the sky quite like Concorde.

In Speedbird Dusk Arrival, aviation artist Henry Smith AGAvA .w.smith captures British Airways Concorde G-BOAG descending towards the UK at sunset. Against a softened dusk sky, the aircraft’s distinctive silhouette and elegant ogival wing take centre stage.

Inspired by childhood memories of watching Concorde approach and perform at airshows across southern England, Henry celebrates the remarkable combination of grace, power and presence that made the aircraft an icon of aviation history.

Exhibited at the Guild of Aviation Artists’ 50th Annual Exhibition at IWM Duxford in 2023, the painting was Highly Commended in both the Aviation Painting of the Year and Arthur Gibson Memorial Trophy categories, and featured in Airliner World magazine.

An evocative tribute to the golden age of supersonic travel, and a distinctive addition to any aviation art collection.

Today we’re featuring a rare original pencil working drawing by Robert Taylor, created during the development of his acclaimed painting ‘No Turning Back’.

The scene depicts a No. 61 Squadron RAF Lancaster piloted by Flight Lieutenant Bill Reid under attack by a German Focke-Wulf Fw 190 while en route to Düsseldorf on the night of 3 November 1943. Reid’s aircraft had already been attacked by an Me 110, leaving him wounded and the Lancaster badly damaged. A second attack killed his navigator, fatally wounded the wireless operator and injured Reid again, yet he continued for approximately another 50 minutes to the target before bringing the crippled bomber back to England. His courage and determination that night earned him the Victoria Cross.

✅ ✍️ Available now. Includes the original autographs of Flight Lieutenant BILL REID VC, Group Captain LEONARD CHESHIRE VC and Generalleutnant ADOLF GALLAND !

✨ One we had to share, even though it found a new home this morning.

The Agile Diver by Anthony Cowland was awarded the Aces High ‘Aviation Painting of the Year’ Award at the Guild of Aviation Artists’ 2024 Annual Exhibition, and it’s easy to see why. Anthony captures the Pfalz D.III in a steep, energetic dive, making full use of one of the aircraft’s defining strengths.

✅ Now sold during this week’s virtual exhibition, but far too good not to give it one final spotlight!

Something a little different this Saturday! 🚂☕

Join us at the Steventon gallery for a cuppa and watch the legendary Flying Scotsman pass by on the Great Western Railway.

We’re expecting it sometime between 2:45–3:15pm on Saturday 17 October, so if you’re nearby, pop in and enjoy one of Britain’s most famous steam locomotives in action.

A great excuse for a gallery visit and a sight well worth catching!

💎 New Limited Release... ANGOVILLE-AU-PLAIN | RICHARD TAYLOR
One of the most remarkable stories of D-Day, captured in an exceptionally limited collector’s edition.

At Angoville-au-Plain, medics Robert Wright and Kenneth Moore treated around 80 wounded men inside the village church, regardless of which uniform they wore. With some creative license, Richard Taylor’s re-imagining of their duties pays tribute to their extraordinary courage and humanity.

✅ Only 15 copies of this stunning composition have been produced worldwide, each conservation mounted with a museum-quality reproduction U.S. Army Combat Medical Badge and, most importantly, the original signatures of both Wright and Moore! ✍️

Just 15. We don’t expect these to remain available for long.
