Aviation Art WW2

That is a nice print. If I could fly, that would be my dream plane to have. She may not be fast but what she could do.

 

Really nice posts!!! Even if I don't like the P-40...

BTW, did you know that the P-40 was in a certain way the inspiration for the Ju-87?

 

I would be most interested Friedrich where you have aquired this info about the Ju 87/P-40. Can't say I have ever heard about a relationship in any way shape or form.
Personally I would love to have a Ju 87 D-5 or G (painting)coming down on a pack of T-34's from one of the several Panzerstaffels......

Erich-I haven't been able to find th Ta-152. Is it on the Eagle web page?

Friedrich, you need to let us know about the Stuka and P-40 relationship. I think we are all very curious.

Otto, I like the Trudgian print. One day I hope to get the "Channel Dash" by Robert Taylor. (talk about expensive!)

Here is another print I liked. I found it on eban.Sorry about the glare; I was in a rush.

 

Mott :

Check the above link I gave for the Ta 152 print on www.eagle-editions.com.......in an earlier post on this page # 2.
i would make a coment on the last painting you posted but I better not ! In actuality the two Me 262's would never be this close together in any way shape or form.
It is also intersting that Nicholas as per usaul puts way too much in his landscapes. Everything is always fore-shortened. Robert Taylor does the same, and I can think of a few paintings he has done with fly overs with surprised ground crews down below.......corny ! boy am I critical.....sorry guys, I was an art major in college for 6 plus years !

Well, even if they are reallistic or not I liked the paintings a lot!!!

And talking about the Sturkampfflugzeug Ju-87. Here's the story.

In 1933, the famous German ace Ernst Udet
was working in the United States and had the luck of flying a Curtiss "Hawk" (I might be wrong, but is this the P-40?) and immediately saw its potential as a dive-bomber. Then, when he became the technical director of the ministry of air, he asked Göring that there must be bought two Curtiss "Hawks", and he got his two American aeroplanes. Then, he didn't delay much in crashing one hinmslef (he was obsessed with the idea of testing every new aeroplane of the Luftwaffe). In 1935, Junkers factories in Sweden started working in the new Luftwaffe's dive-bomber, the Ju-87. Next autumn, there was a competition between the two candidates for the standard dive-bomber of the growing air-force. The Heinkel He-118 and the Junkers Ju-87. The He-118 did not bear the gravity in the dive and Udet crashed the plane. In the other hand, the "Stuka" performed wonderfully. We know the rest of the story...

 

I forgot:

Horne, Alistair, La bataille du France, London, Ashington, Château de Rougemont, 1967-1968.

 

Quite interesting Friedrich. Ernst Udet, why am I not surprised......the man tested everything

E

 

He! It feels good to be right...

Actually, we could get Udet into the thread "General with a gun". He didn't shot anybody, but he took the same risks than his men in one of the most dangerous jobs there...

 

I just got this bad boy back from the framers.


a closer look


A close up of Galland and check out the lobsters behind the seat. Cool, huh?

 

Thats cool. Your gonna run out of wall space, no matter I have plenty for safe keeping.

 

Very nice pictures, indeed!

And what was Adolf going to do with the lobsters? Eat them with the other Adolf, after Adolf gives Adolf the diamonds to his KC?

 

Cool print Gary.
