The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang is an American long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber used during World War II and the Korean War, among other conflicts. The Mustang was designed in 1940 by a team headed by James H. Kindelberger of North American Aviation (NAA) in response to a requirement of the British Purchasing Commission. The commission approached NAA to build Curtiss P-40 fighters under license for the Royal Air Force (RAF). Rather than build an old design from another company, NAA proposed the design and production of a more modern fighter. The prototype NA-73X airframe was completed on 9 September 1940, 102 days after contract signing, achieving its first flight on 26 October. The Mustang was designed to use the Allison V-1710 engine without an export-sensitive turbosupercharger or a multi-stage supercharger, resulting in limited high-altitude performance. The aircraft was first flown operationally and very successfully by the RAF and as a tactical-reconnaissance aircraft and fighter-bomber (Mustang Mk I). In mid 1942, a development project known as the Rolls-Royce Mustang X, replaced the Allison engine with a Rolls-Royce Merlin 65 two-stage inter-cooled supercharged engine. During testing at Rolls-Royce's airfield at Hucknall in England, it was clear the engine dramatically improved the aircraft's performance at altitudes above 15,000 ft (4,600 m) without sacrificing range. Following receipt of the test results and after further flights by USAAF pilots, the results were so positive that North American began work on converting several aircraft developing into the P-51B/C (Mustang Mk III) model, which became the first long range fighter to be able to compete with the Luftwaffe's fighters. The definitive version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650-7, a license-built version of the two-speed, two-stage-supercharged Merlin 66, and was armed with six .50 caliber (12.7 mm) AN/M2 Browning machine guns.

Martin J. Ulbricht

 

Born in 1948, Martin Ulbricht has painted all his life having been inspired at a young age by artistic works seen in a wide variety of exhibitions.  He is largely self taught but an early inclination to pursue a career as an artist gave way to one in aviation.  His years in aviation allowed him the time to continue to develop his technique and style and this period of his life  provided a multiplicity of inspiration on a variety of themes.

 

"Self Portrait"

 

Ulbricht has an impressionistic/realistic approach to his subject matter being inspired by places he has visited, scenes he has seen and his own mood when painting.  Once he has a mental image of a subject, he likes to prepare the canvas to a ground colour to suit the image and he initially puts the whole image onto the canvas as quickly as possible. Time is then spent on the detailing and on reflection so bringing the painting up to its finished state.  It is this process which enables Ulbricht to create paintings which give the viewer constant pleasure.

 

Edward Seago has been a major influence with regard to his use of colour,  brushwork and the subjects he depicted, in particular his treatment of skies,  whilst Terence Cuneo  influenced Ulbricht's approach to transport based themes and John Singer Sargent has been an inspiration for Ulbricht's portraiture. 

 

The dominant themes in his work involve views of Venice, big skies, sunsets and beaches together with genre paintings of transport images involving more technical detail.  His contemporary landscapes, cityscapes, beach scenes and sunsets have become much sought after.  Portraiture has always been, and still remains, an abiding passion. 

 

Having decided to pursue a career as a professional artist, Terence Macklin's advice helped Ulbricht to be more focused with regard to his subjects.  As a professional artist, Ulbricht likes to remain flexible regarding style and subject but he always stays true to his premise that, whatever the painting it must give its owner constant pleasure.

 

Ulbricht exhibits and sells his work through galleries in the South East, London,  Lincolnshire, on the internet, at the Affordable Art Fair  and by private commission.
