The collection of paintings covers the history of aviation in South Africa from 1917 to about 1976, and at the same time, reflects some of the many changes that have taken place within Port Elizabeth and the Eastern Cape, a region important in the history of aviation in the sub-continent.
The 154 paintings and a number of drawings were published by Struikhof Publishers in 1989 in A Portrait of Military Aviation in South Africa by Ron Belling, who was both author and artist.
Gutsche Family Investments now preserve the collection as part of the cultural heritage of this city.
The paintings resulted from many years of research, extensive photographic recording, field sketching and flying with the South African Air Force by the artist.(From Belling Aviation)
