Returning Fire
by William S. Phillips
The Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk is a twin-turbine engine, single rotor,
semi-monocoque fuselage, rotary wing helicopter. The medium-lift
utility or assault helicopter was the winner of a United States
Army competition in the late 1970s to replace the Huey (UH-1) family.
Although the two final competing designs were both developed to
Army specifications, the UH-60 was selected over an entry from Boeing-Vertol.
It would go on to serve as the basis for variants in service with
other branches of the US military. The Black Hawk can perform a
wide array of missions, including the tactical transport of troops,
electronic warfare and aero medical evacuation. In air assault operations
it can move a squad of 11 combat troops with equipment, with advanced
avionics and electronics provide increased survivability and capability.
In William S. Phillips' Returning Fire, the Black
Hawk crew assigned to the 101st Airborne takes evasive action and
releases flares and machine gun fire after being fired upon during
a sortie late in the day over Iraq.

Evasive Action Over Sagami Bay
by William S. Phillips
Shortly after bombing the Tokyo Gas and Electric Company, Pilot
Lt. Harold F.Watson banks the
B-25 Whirling Dervish steeply to avoid a Japanese cruiser that lay
directly on the aircraft’s escape
route to China. It was the ninth of sixteen aircraft to leave the
carrier USS Hornet on the audacious
April 18, 1942 Doolittle Raid on Japan. That United States Army
Air Forces bombers could launch
from a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier was inconceivable at the time.
President Roosevelt claimed the aircraft
came from a secret airbase in the mythical Shangri-La. American
bombers striking the Japanese
homeland and passing within sight of Mount Fuji, the most sacred
mountain in all Japan, delivered
a succinct message to the warring Axis nation: America, the Sleeping
Giant, had begun to stir.
Evasive Action Over Sagami Bay is an authentic historical
document, offered as both a fine art print
and canvas edition, countered-signed by American heroes that participated
in the Doolittle Raid.This is
a unique opportunity to own and preserve an important moment in
aviation and U.S. military history.
