As I was searching ebay, I found a work for sale (item number: 110344094049) that is very similar to the illustration on this book. The artist of the ebay work is Russ Miller.

Hi,

I just picked up this little 1936 book on ebay:



The cover artist seems to have been named Burger, and he also did little pen-and-ink sketches for the interior. I'd appreciate hearing from any colleagues (especially German) who know more about this nice little book. It is an anthology of airmen's tales, but seems to be a mix of fact and fiction.

Greg

Popular Mechanics had a number of aviation related covers during the war. Here's one example - I don't know who the artist is - July 1916

I believe this one is by Stanley Orton Bradshaw again:


This one is by G.H. Davis:


And I think this is Howard Leigh; love the red & black Halberstadt!:
