Post by: max_thehitman on June 06, 2012, 06:38:50 AM
I have these 2000+ artsy things gathering some dust in my computer, so I want to share them with
you before my computer blows up. It´s my way of thanking you for making UP3+DBW a great game.
I hope you enjoy them.

Cheers
MAX

Wow, awesome! I've seen the Hell over Kursk before but I didnt seem to recall the rest.
I think nowdays the once so active il-2 screenshot-art community is at its all time low so its good to see new stuff.
Keep them coming!

Do you have a bigger version of the Boelcke picture? I want to make it into a DBW 1916 splash screen.

Completely amazed!!!!!!!!!

First I fell in love for the lancaster pic, than for the Spitfire under the bridge, then for the grazing 262, then...so many great pictures.

I have a rule to not put aviation themes in my work lap top screen saver, but I guess I will not resist.

Thanks for sharing!!!!

Yes, North Africa bombing mission when it got caught up by attacking luftwaffe aircraft, I have
researched every scene I create. Many books, websites and papers. Although, there seems to be doubts among the
bomber flight crews as if they were Fw-190´s or Me-109´s. Since most of the eyewitnesses have said 109´s I decided
to use that type of fighter.
Here is a quick link for you to see and read more - http://www.reddog1944.com/414th_Squadron_Planes_and_Crews.htm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry for posting images so small, I wish I could post bigger sizes, but unfortunatly photobucket only allows
a certain size limit. If any one knows of a place where I can upload large sized images, I will post them bigger for
your PC wallpapers and to print out if you wish.

Alright then, last post for today,
I have to get back to my IL-2-1946 game!  ;D
Tomorrow I will post many more images for everyone to enjoy.

epic night shots are epic :D

no doubt about historica research, i've checked the same page after your image :) i've always associate the image to ETO, maybe for many other "close encounters" over germany, but in effect only now i saw the torch markings :)
Title: Re: MAX-theHitman Artsy Aviation Crap Gallery
Post by: max_thehitman on June 06, 2012, 10:14:53 AM

... only now I saw the torch markings :)

You got it.  8)
Those yellow circles around the star-roundels means that Allied aircraft were part of Operation Torch in late 1942.
The USA is probably the only country in WW2 that changed roundels and insignia on their airplanes every year. LOL
They must have had 5 diferent designs alltogether. Perhaps the headquarters wanted the boys to keep busy painting
airplanes when they were not flying.  :D
