Found these paintings by Steve Anderson at the Aerodrome. Enjoy!

Hi Olham,

 

 

Beautiful Paintings - wonder how long they took him to do,

 

I wish I had talent like that - I have trouble with matchstick men!!

Seeing the title, I immediately thought of this -

 

That video is new (to me) though, I know (and love) the song, but by happy coincidence when I searched for it just now, that fan-made video came up.

Here are more from "The Aerodrome" - click on 'WW1 aviaton art':

The profile of the Fokker F.1 is by James F. Miller - "our" JFM here on the Forum.

Hope you don't mind me "borrowing" it from the Aerodrome, James?

The paintings are beautiful.

The Red Baron video link in the reply above: The video itself was interesting. The song done in rock is completely wrong for this era. The pilots of the day would have not liked it one bit imo. Go ahead call me an old foggy.

It's not rock.... it's Metal!

 

 

I think it fits. Especially when you see it set against that video. It's energetic, even manic; fast past, aggressive, and serious. Which is pretty much what a furball is.

 

Plus, I'm a metal-head, and an Iced Earth fan, and an aero-geek who loves WWI kites, so.... I think it's pretty much a given that I would like it. hehe

 

 

Oh and, yes, those paintings do indeed rock too.

Rock, metal whatever, poor excuse for music imo. I still think it doesn't fit a WWI dogfight.

Thats just my opinion and not a reflection upon your choice of "music". To each his own brother. :)
