As the official artist and honoree of the American Fighter Aces Association, Roy completed 51 original paintings for the AFAA, accurately portraying the aerial combat of aces from WW1, WW2, Vietnam, and the Korean War. These paintings are based on the oral history of the aces involved and are as close as they can be to what really occurred as if someone was taking a photograph of the action.

Roy's original paintings are displayed in many museums throughout the United States. Prints feature Roy’s signature printed on the border and measure about 19”w x 13”h.
