Peter Jackson mystery
« on: July 30, 2019, 01:48:16 AM »
Just saw this from Adam Savage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e9T3LrEt28&feature=youtu.be
So very cool. Someone has alreeady identified the pilot as Edward Corringham "Mick" Mannock. check google images for him and the sketch looks very much like the sketch starting at 3.27
No matter its very cool to find. I wish I could win the lottery and go and see NZ and the airfield and WNW.

It really does look like Mick, but when I first saw the drawing, I thought the artist was trying to depict a mustache.  And Mick doesn't seem to have ever worn one.

Perhaps that is just shading on the upper lip?

I do think this is supposed to be Mannock however.  Many details line up perfectly with the photo posted at Wikipedia.  The drawing almost looks like a tracing of the photograph.
