Title: Ernst Udet's WWI aircraft color profiles
Post by: flypaper on January 17, 2016, 09:20:43 AM
While on poking around I came across these side views of WWI German aircraft done by Udei in the 1940/41 time era. They were supposed to be part of an illustrated book he planed on the history of aviation. Thirty two paintings were mentioned but I was only able to find these 7. Three of the missing were a Ni17, Camel and a US Spad.

Pretty nice Artwork. You mentioned 7 but I only see 2 am I missing something? Too bad he didn't do DDN! That certainly would have saved us all some grief  :-X

I only posted 2 because the size limit of this forum is a pain....downloading and then trying to get the paintings down to less then 200kb ....sorry I got better ways to waste my time.
Its a shame because I have shite load of pics to share but I'm not inclined to change them to the small limit available here.

Maybe posting just the links could help...

Udet was quite the artist.  Yes, if you could post a link that would be great.

The Aerodrome had a post on these back in 2012:

23 WW1 drawings were sold at auction and there are at least another 9 (post-war?) I've seen mention of.
