I think I've seen this drawing posted before, but years ago - so here it is again:

 

 

 

Jasta 11 aces, portraied by artist Arnold Busch.

 

The artist made many other drawings in the Great War - see here:

Great drawings. Believe it or not, we still send artists to combat zones to draw pictures.

 

I've worked with several of them. The two most recent that I know are Chief Warrant Officer Mike Fay and Staff Sergeant Kristopher Battles.

 

Here's one of SSgt Battles' portraits of Marines waiting for a mission...

 

And one by CWO Fay, also of Marines waiting, but in a diferent context

There's something special, one can see captured in artwork, that can never be duplicated with a camera

Yes, indeed, Widowmaker!
