Blohm & Voss P.212.03 - daily sketch
Star Wars in 1944, one of the numerous german "crazy-plane" during WWII.
Not really what we call "a nice plane" but something different.
By the end of 1944, the OKL (High Command of the Luftwaffe) realized that a better high-altitude fighter was needed, and they wanted to take advantage of the new He S 011 jet engine which was being developed.....continue here

Comet Dh88 - daily sketch
Encore le comet...mais pas très content du dessin , pas le feeling avec ses lignes sexy sous cet angle.
At present I will try to write in english a bit more..
Still the comet but i am not very happy with this sketch because i haven't find the good feeling with her sexy lines.
tomorrow i will try with a rough which is more close to the "top-side view".

Amelia Earhart
Hilary Swank (Million dollar baby) dans un lockheed Electra qui fait peur aux girafes .......énorme navet interplanétaire ou sortie de l'année toujours est il que le trailer d'Amelia est prometteur en terme de "belles images" et de beaux appareils.
L'occasion d'en apprendre un peu plus sur une icône de l'aviation mystérieusement disparu en juillet 1937 et devenu légende. Official website

X planes - daily link.....
Le sketch du jour sera mis en ligne demain (j'ai la flemme de scanner à minuit et demi..) avec un P38 et un Lockheed Electra.
Au passage..... allez visiter: Xplanes, ce blog qui n'a de minimaliste que la présentation est une mine d'or d'images et d'infos sur tout ce qui vol.
Mis à jour quotidiennement c'est une adresse à connaître et faire circuler tant les blogs "aériens" de cette qualité sont rares.
