Hi- this is wonderful site - my father was a member of Cross and Cockade so I grew up with a lot of exposure t oWorld War 1 aviation. While I do not have a lto of time to keep up with it. it still fascinates me.
I collect American Illustration art (own a Blakeslee Dare devil Aces cover from that later period in which he was melding WW1 and 1930's ariplanes)
I toda picked up an interior painting by FC Yohn from proabbly a magazine- title on the Back Airshipman it shows a Sopwith (I think) dueling with a Zep. no date - there is a caption on it - I have atatched a scan. This looks like his work from the late teens - 1920's or maybe earl y30's- He died i n1933
When I get art I like to read the article or story it is associated with. it is often harder to ID the art and find the story than it is to get the art.
I think it might be from a Thomson Burtis serial in American Boy as Yoh ndid some work for them but the art is violent people shooting out of the gondola at the plane so I am not sure if that firs or not (though lord knows the Carl H Claudy SCi-fi books for boys I read secondhand as a child were pretty grisly at times!)
Thanks a lot George hagenauer - yellowkd@terracom.net

Mate,
Welcome to the flagship of the Aerodrome - where the greatest minds on the planet get together and talk about their favorite subject - WW1.

An excellent reprint of an old book (1943) with nice cover design by Federica Montaruli.

Well, I'm starting to run out of art. I may find some more, and I still have a few that I haven't gotten pictures of yet. And there's more coming in all the time.

Here's a common book that hasn't been posted as far as I can tell. It's just a little woodcut, but it keeps the thread going until I get a few more pics.

Mates,
Somehow I have not been keeping up with the 'Jones' I.e. Dan - so to get me back into the game I just picked up two new books and thought that their front covers deserved to be posted for all you folks to see.

No art for a while, so ...

I'll look up the artist later, but for now, the art:
