Some unknown artists
Since people keep looking, I'll keep posting ...
 This one is probably by Charles Huard - he did the illustrations for the book and the style looks the same, to my untrained eye:     A different Wind in the Wires - this may be the third different one, but I like it...

Great stuff
Hi Dan,
Thanks so much for posting these - they're great! I never realized that the cover to The Black Swallow of Death was by our old friend George Evans. I should have known. Actually, the cover artist for Stepchild Pilot is Bjorn Karlstrom. He was (is?) an aviation artist and draftsman who did some wonderful color four-views and scale plans for American Aircraft Modeler and other mags back in the late '60's and '70's. The cover you just posted for Wind in the Wires bears the same painting as one of the covers for Peter Saxon's trilogy ("The Enemy Sky") that Pete Hill posted in the other thread (but which is now gone)  . However, this artist is not Brian Knight, who did the paperback covers I'm familiar with.

Hi Guys.
Thanks, Dan for starting this thread, it is great! Love the cover art. I especially love the cover for 'Warring Sky' by Peter Saxon, I want to paint my own version! Interestingly, the cover art you have posted here for 'Wind in the Wires' was also used for the p/b edition of Peter Saxon's 'The Enemy Sky' that I own. Keep 'em coming! Pete. PS, anyone is welcome to write reviews for any of these novels in my fiction novels of WW1 thread.

Here's a mix
Thanks, Greg, for correcting my artist name on Stepchild Pilot. I tried reading it off the cover, but clearly missed. Also, pulled The Unfeeling Sky and can get a wrap-around of the whole cover, perhaps this weekend. This is kind of fun.

The German perspective
Hi,
On the very slight chance I might possibly have one or two books that Dan doesn't, I thought I'd present some German bookcover art from the '30's:  Werner Chomton was, if I'm not mistaken, a German two-seater veteran of the war who not only authored this book loosely based on his experiences but also painted the cover and illustrated it with his own pen and ink sketches. He became sort of the go-to guy for aviation illustration for several other books, such as Hermann Kohl's biography of MvR.
