Being a forward observer in the US Army, I knew I would be doing a few artillery-centric drawings through this project! I’ve always had a soft spot for guns that can lob 100lb wort h of explosive munition over mountains and still strike their intended targets.The artillery is the King of Battle. The rounds shake the earth and burn the sky. Howitzers can unleash a fury near unmatched by most other weapons. It’s also a system that allows for a variety of munition types, from the standard high explosive, to variable time air bursting, to smoke and white phosphorous. It’s uses are many and it’s effect on a battle-space incomparable.The idea is simple, point, fire and adjust. The howitzer has been a part of modern warfare almost as long as it’s been modern. It is and will continue to be sobering example of the devastation that can be unleashed with simply a radio and a map.‘Fire for effect.’Museum-quality gilcee print on archival, acid-free matte paper.
