You're Top Poster: #7  | Pat Rooney caricatures. During the second world war and for some time after a cartoonist named Pat Rooney visited R.A.F. stations and drew caricatures of R.A.F. personnel. Not too much is known about Rooney so any help with information about him and further examples of his work would be appreciated. First one listed is Geoffrey Hall Porter Second one is my father, Walter Layne. The third one I know only as "Hank" Fourth is William Kenneth Manifould The fifth one is Thomas Maxwell Last edited by David Layne; 15-05-2008 at 11:38 PM. Reason: Fixed Attachments |
