Curtiss Pigeon P-11

1940's, by Arthur, Military, North America, WW2@drawnpatrol

A lesser known variant of the great Curtiss persuit family, the Pigeon had made it's mark in history by possessing
an unrivalled lack of overall performance. The type was therefore decommissioned within the same month of adoption.
Most of the airframes were relegated to amusement parks, while the remainder had been recycled into outdoor furniture.

Tough Grunt

"Have to help those fighter boys out and take out those Nazi ships myself!"

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.

Tupolev TU- 116-K "Cod Piece" (new drawing 3)

by Arthur, Military, Russia, Sea Plane 1950's, WW2@drawnpatrol

The "Grom" as it was called, meaning "thunder", was undeniably an awesome aircraft indeed.
Designed specifically for the "Morskaya Aviatsiya" (Soviet Naval Air Service), as a fighter/strike aircraft in the Bering Sea Campaign.The Grom soon became a tactical favorite.
Enhanced by the warmed-up 2.300 Hp. Klimov engine and armed with twin 75mm. cannon, this seaplane was a tough and versatile opponent against the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Tough Sailor-( Second Drawing )



Simon responded with this.
(At that time, we were taking the piss out of the old 40's and 50's war comics.)

Tough Sailor-( First Drawing )

Japanese fighter-bombers attack U.S. Navy carrier. This was drawn "at" Simon on purpose,
way back then.

Lockheed Giganticus B-3000

1950's, by Arthur, Military, North America, WW2@drawnpatrol

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.

C-Stoff & T-Stoff Leftovers

The results of a harsh landing, in half spent Me 163.

Dornier Do 690 " Uberfalke" (New Drawing 2)

1950's, by Arthur, Germany, Military, WW2@drawnpatrol

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

1950's, by Simon, Germany, Military, WW2@drawnpatrol


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.

Me in an Me

1940's, by Simon, Germany, Military, WW2@drawnpatrol

That's right, that's me, in an Me 109-G night fighter, could hardly see out of the cockpit.
Simon drew this pic, and very accurately I might add.
