Troy White’s Lifelong Flight of Art

What began as a childhood obsession with airplanes has become a global career. By the age of four, Troy could name every aircraft at his local U.S. airbase – and every car that passed by.

As he grew, he came to see aircraft not just as machines, but as works of art. His journey took him from sketching planes, to flying in them, to building a career in Australia as a professional artist and author.

Troy’s artwork is renowned for its meticulous detail. Each piece captures a real moment in time, created to honour the aircraft, the technology, and the people who flew them.
