Can't escape the impact of war: From the Beech Expeditor 3NM N6671 to the Beech Expeditor 3N N6670, these planes witnessed destruction firsthand. In London during World War II, even the underground became a refuge for fleeing civilians as depicted in a haunting watercolor. Henry Moore's wax drawing captures the resilience of planes amidst chaos and bombings in 1940. The Japanese reconnaissance over Rabaul, Papua New Guinea adds another layer to this global conflict. London's bombed streets are vividly portrayed through drawings and watercolors from 1941, showcasing both destruction and artistry. Remembering Georges-Marie Guynemer and Adolphe Pegoud, French air aces who bravely fought but tragically lost their lives during World War I. Willem Janszoon Blaeu and Jan Blaeu documented historical events including World War I while Marco Polo's travels remind us that conflicts have shaped our world throughout history.
