BB-Gun Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Happy Birthday Xela !!! Alex Schomburg - born: May 10 1905 - died physically: April 7 1998 - artistically: still amazing us- thanks! I haven't seen that one very often. I will have to put it on my list. I like this one too. I few years ago I wrote to his daughter, who was constructing a site with Schomburg covers, and sent her a scan of the first cover by Alex.

I think I saw the December issue at the New York public library but it was already brittle due to poor storage conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Picked them up last year, from two different sellers on e-bay. Printed by Dell. Anyone else seen those before? I've yet to see a 2nd copy of either since I accquired them. I know War Ships is listed in OSG, but War Planes is not. (side note: War Ships was mailed to me, in a plain THIN manila envelope, with no bag/board/cardboard/etc. Pretty much naked except for the manila it came in! Glad it survived intact!)
