Rolls Royce Buccaneer YF- 74

Cozy.

P-42 Stingray

I bet this baby had an awesome roll rate.

Carreidas 90-1-A Chilkout

Sorta like a twin engined Connie but cuter.

Course Correction

""Course Correction" uses a fictional character I invented, called Saara Mar. This particular illustration is of the "couldn't happen" variety, as Saara didn't arrive on Earth until 1970. I just couldn't resist it."

Our Second Contribution

Yuri 'Iceman' Gagarine pilots his Mig 15 down 'Mig Alley' in February 1953
Gagarine never got over the joshing he constantly got over sharing a
name with the first cosmonaut
He died tragically while attempting to defrost his Gaz tourer on a cold
Moscow morning
Following a hearty breakfast of Vodka, he had lit a wood fire under the
radiator.





Mikhael Gregorevich Leermontov, a hero of his time, felt more at home in
the seat of his Mig 17 once he had had it replaced with the seat from
his family's tractor in Minsk.






Vasili Ivanovich Krapov made a gift of his Fishbed to the people of
Uraguay, when he flew off course during the Latin American Soccer Wars
of the late 60s.
His original plan had been to defect to Peru, but navigation had never
been his strong suit. In fact, althoughVasili was a nice kid, he was as
sharp as a wet sponge.





Into the wild red, white and blue yonder

From the awesome John Kratovil we have received a sweet bunch of planes.
Thanks for all the art John!

F-86

Found this at the bottom of the pile, bit rugged, but who cares.

Prulyev PE450 "Groke"

Prulyev PE450 'Groke" Destroyer Tender, of the fifth Belorussian
Marine Division.
No known photos exist, but this artists impression is believed to be
absolutely accurate, so try proving otherwise, you naysaying weasels.

Dortwunder-Pfoltz DP-208

Dortwunder-Pfoltz, D.P. 208, of the 5th detachment "Zerstorer Flugzeug".
Mid October 1952, San Carlos, Venezuela.
This is a long lost drawing that turned up thanks to Simon. It was a surprize to me, because I honestly can't
remember drawing it at all.

Rick Rudder, Parasite Fighter Pilot

This was drawn back in the mid 90's, Rick Rudder and his faithful mechanic Suds, are members of the fearsome 466th
U.S.A.F Parasite Fighter Squadron, 1956.
Dropping out of bombays and into combat, the parasite fighters protect their bomber formations.
These amazing aircraft and intrepid pilots are in a league of their own.

Antonov "Anvil"

The almost invulnerable Antonov "Anvil". Carved from a single lump of pig iron, with characteristic Bolshevik revolutionary zeal!

Vladinov Nakovalinya VN-17 ( code name SLAB )

In a desperate attempt to curtail German bombers over Soviet territory, Yuri Vladinov himself designed the Nakovalinya. Conceived from the start as a jet powered "Ramming Aircraft", allowed this fighter the capability of either firing their
cannon at bomber formations, or simply flying through them.

Lockheed Giganticus B-3000

The Giganticus was designed as a mega class bomber, however, the experiment had gone too far.
This behemoth's sheer size and mass, prohibited it's own construction. Mainly because there were no fabrication
plants large enough to even build a singular example.

Migs Under Fire

Sabres straffing as Soviets scramble.

Unamed U.S. Navy Combat Aircraft

This is a drawing Simon did back in the mid 80's, alas we have no name for it,...(Not yet anyway.)

Dornier Do 690 " Uberfalke" (New Drawing 2)

Dornier Uberfalke over Norway, wating to pounce on a bomber formation.

During what was clearly the "Jet-age", Dornier pushed yet another prop driven fighter design.
This time, with an emphasis on handling, firepower and good all-round vision.
A compound-turbo augmented Daimler-Hirsch engine was adopted, providing a boost up to 4.100 hp.,
and this allowed for a top speed of 475 mph.
The 690 would prove to be a formidable opponent against next generation of enemy jet fighters.

Blohm & Voss BV-450-K

Blohm & Voss BV 450 K, of the Kriegsmarine Luftdienst, (Naval Air Force) Newfoundland. Powered by a Benz turboprop engine with contra rotating propellers. Designed as a naval dive-bomber, this type was a complete and utter #$@*-UP. Dubbed with the unflattering name of "Scheissekasten" (Shitbox) by it's surviving pilots.

Heinkel "Strassejager" He-705-A

Strassejagers, on a routine street patrol, over Burbank California 1958.

Flying Fighter Base

Cleared for take-off, on Flying Fighter Base x-25-3.

Russian Prototype

Flying "Swastika"

Dornier "Flying Swastika" of JG 28 Luftflotte 4, Bahamas 1959, takes off on a routine sortie.
