Feb. 2010 - Dauntless Against A Rising Sun - William Phillips

“This painting contains everything I like about symbolic aviation art. It’s
full of symbolism as two SBD-3s-S-9 and S-11 of VS-5-fly from the USS

'Yorktown' aircraft carrier against the dark clouds of war and a rising sun, the symbol of the Japanese
empire. In this case,the sun is symbolic of hope and the dawn of a new day as the tide turns in the Pacific
at the Battle of Midway in June of 1942.

The name of the painting, "Dauntless Against a Rising Sun," was a natural. A SBD dive-bomber
was referred to as a “Dauntless”and the two in this painting capture the spirit of the U.S. forces in those
dark days after the initial Japanese victories in the Pacific.
