Air Progress wondering if a militarized 2707-100 was the 1967 World’s Best Bomber. Did they picture them down low on an “Oil Burner” promenade?
The cover artwork was sure a winner.
I found this dynamic drawing of a Polish “Flora” racing a steam hauled train sailing on the net. The artist’s name seems to be Peter, or Pieter Dubovik.
Monoplane training meant Miles Master in the Britain of Jan. 1940.
Alluring piece of advertisement art, cheap too.
After the end of WW2 air freight increased on a mind-blowing scale. Special cargo companies were created and the traditional airlines, like Air France, began making profits from the holds of their planes, and also started all-cargo flights.
Superbe 1949 artwork by Atelier Perceval.
The impressive front cover of Paul Legellé for the 1956 book of Trident test pilot Charles Goujon.
The previous model without a Matra 052 missile launch a few years later.
A little bit outdated but superb drawing of G.H. Davis for the Illustrated London News, 1940.
Notice the 143’s secondary pilot station.
A distant Goliath in this stupendous piece of advertisement art by J. C. Bellaisup.
The Marut still retains the kind of fascination I got when I first heard of it many, many years ago. There I was, a kid compulsively perusing through my neighbour’s old abused aviation publications and among the American, Soviet, French and British racy jets, this stunning Indian beauty. Later, of course, I came to know the story behind, and the thing became even more alluring.
Look at the finesse of those air intakes. How I would have given to have access to some old Swift magazines.
