by John D. Shaw
June 5,
1944, at Uppottery Airfield, England . . .
Gilded in the evening’s glow, Lt. Richard Winters confers with his “Band
of Brothers,” the paratroopers of Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry
Regiment, 101st Airborne. Soon, these young men would parachute into German-occupied
France, to spearhead Europe’s emancipation. Winters holds a letter from
regimental commander Col. Robert Sink, that states, “Tonight is the
Night of Nights. Tomorrow throughout the whole of our homeland and the Allied
world the bells will ring out the tidings that you have arrived, and the invasion
for liberation has begun.”

November
2003: We’re excited to announce the completion of one of the
most anticipated military art prints ever published…We Were a Band of
Brothers by John D. Shaw, depicting the famed men of Easy Company preparing
for the fateful jump into Normandy on the ‘night of nights’.
After nearly 2 years in
the planning and creation, Ghost Wings and Liberty Studios have had the honor
of having the participation of over 14 original veterans of Easy Company in
personally signing these lithographs.
Each of these distinguished ‘Band of Brothers’ participated
in the D-Day jump on June 6, 1944, and continued on to make military history,
immortalized in Steven Ambrose’s bestseller and the award-winning HBO
miniseries. This stunning and historically accurate portrayal is available
in several editions, all bearing numerous multiple original signatures of
Easy Company’s original ‘Band of Brothers’ paratroopers!
(now Valor) with the original painting.
John D. Shaw has pursued
his art and graphics career since 1985. Born in 1961, this native of Carson
City, Nevada is a veteran of both the fine art and commercial art fields.
As an illustrator, Shaw created artwork for clients such as Lucas Films Ltd.,
Kellogg's, and Major League Baseball.
Shaw's work took a new emphasis in 1993, when he began creating paintings
with a historical theme. With special attention to the World War-II era, his
depictions of these aircraft, people, and their missions have become celebrated,
worldwide.
Shaw’s artwork hangs in the collection of President Bush ’41, President Bush ’43, the Cavanaugh Flight Museum, and private collections worldwide. His art has adorned the covers of magazines like Private Pilot's Aviation Art Gallery, World War II, World War II History, Aviation History, and Valor Magazine.
With the November 2008 completion of "The Eagle's Nest," Shaw has contributed three out of the five paintings in Valor Studios’ art print series depicting the Band of Brothers.
