Hi,

Speaking of red triplanes, FliegerJG1, here's Ed Valigursky's version for the September 1959 issue of Saga, one of those 'men's adventure' pulpy magazines that flourished in the late '50's.



It features what was the conventional wisdom of the day on MvR's Fokker F.I 102/17 - all red, with natural metal cowling and white wheel covers. Don't worry if you've missed this particular article on MvR - it's nothing special.

I'll make no comment on the "College Boy's Dilemma" article in the same issue!Valigursky was a very capable artist who did all those Ace Combat Classic paperback covers already posted above. I like his stuff, even if his refs weren't up to today's standards.
