catrick339 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I kept looking though Schomburg's paintings to see if I could find this Radio Craft cover. Kind of like Where's Waldo but didn't find an exact match. Similar guys on the left though. That man not have been by OUR Schomburg. His brother was also an illustrator and did a lot of magazine covers at around that time. I've had a couple flying magazines with covers by the OTHER Schomburg.

catrick339 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 WUPS! My bad, all I caught was the Schomburg, didn't catch the chopped off Alex on the last image I've found over the years that a lot of folks aren't familiar with August, so I thought I'd toss it in.

BB-Gun Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) WUPS! My bad, all I caught was the Schomburg, didn't catch the chopped off Alex on the last image I've found over the years that a lot of folks aren't familiar with August, so I thought I'd toss it in. August did similar work for books and magazines. Alex was better with human characters and August drew detailed planes for mags like Flying Aces. I changed the photo in this one to show a couple of his Flying Aces covers. He drew this cover concerning spread of poisonous gas. I don't think that was used in Europe during WWII but was used in China. He also illustrated this cover which relates to an article dated 1938 about the Japanese invasion of Hawaii.
