For over thirty years Ron Cole has combed the globe to accumulate some of the rarest and best-preserved parts from historic aircraft to combine with his award-winning aviation artwork and airplane paintings. No one else combines these elements as Cole's Aircraft does. These F4F Hellcat parts were discovered on Espiritu Santo in the remote South Pacific and arrived here in Ohio via Australia six months later.
In March 2022 Cole's Aircraft acquired its first complete warbird: this Japanese A6M2 Model 21 Zero Fighter, built by Nakajima in 1943 and served with the famous 201st Kokutai out of Tobera, Rabaul. Recovered from Balalae in the Solomon Islands in 2019, it now has a permanent home in our Zanesville Ohio studio while Ron works to restore its cockpit section.

Ron Cole built his career in Los Angeles, California as an industrial designer and product development engineer, with companies such as Disney, Pixar, Mattel, Boeing, JPL, and many others. He also worked as a model maker on such films as Terminator III, The Aviator, Cat in the Hat, and Madagascar. While in LA, Ron also worked as an artist and renderer for architects and developers. The unique demands of that competitive industry led him to create a new and proprietary means of creating his imagery - one that combined the best of acrylic-on-canvas media and the versatility of digital painting.
Ron founded Cole's Aircraft in 2006. A fan of historic aviation since childhood, he combined that passion with his professional experience to market aircraft-themed products; traditional limited edition prints and his unique line of 'relic displays'. The latter combined actual pieces of famous aircraft with his artwork. "People want more than just a pretty picture on the wall," he says. "I offer them that. I provide people with real history that they can reach out and touch".
Cole's Aircraft (and REC@War) incorporated in 2019. Based in Zanesville, Ohio, Ron Cole also runs Gallery Luminaria and is very active in his local art community.
Ron has released over 170 original works of aviation and automotive art that he offers as limited-edition prints, from 13x19-inches to 40x60-inches, framed & unframed, giclee-printed on several special papers and canvas:
We have your size - from 13x19 framed & matted, to 40x60 gallery-wrapped canvas - we make it simple to display your favorite pieces, from aviation and aircraft relic art to automotive artwork.
