The Navy Background
The Navy commissioned its first planes in 1911. From open cockpit machines to fighter jets, aircraft have played an important role in the Navy's work ever since. Sales of the calendar benefit the Naval Historical Foundation. Each month includes information about the painting and day-to-day factual briefs about naval conflicts and commissions. The paintings are drawn from the Navy's official collection at the Naval History and Heritage Command.
