Jet Pilot is a 1962 pop art work done in graphite pencil by Roy Lichtenstein. Like many of Lichtenstein's works from this time period, it was inspired by a comic book image, but he made notable modifications of the source in his work.
Sometimes referred to as the Fliegender Bleistift ("flying pencil") or the Eversharp, [4] the Do 17 was a relatively popular aircraft among its crews due to its handling, especially at low altitude, which made the type harder to hit than other German bombers of the era.
A U.S Air Force F-35A. This is a list of fighter aircraft used by the United States.. This includes those of the 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system, 1924–1962 Air Force, pre-1962 Navy, and undesignated military aircraft.
The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is an American single-engine, supersonic interceptor which was extensively deployed as a fighter-bomber during the Cold War.Created as a day fighter by Lockheed as one of the "Century Series" of fighter aircraft for the United States Air Force (USAF), it was developed into an all-weather multirole aircraft in the early 1960s and produced by several other nations ...
The Henschel P.75 was an unrealised German design for a fighter aircraft created by Henschel during World War II. It was meant to be replacement for the Messerschmitt Bf 110 . It had an unusual canard configuration seen on other fighters like the XP-55 and the J7W1 .
The Luftwaffe also wanted a machine that could operate as a fighter aircraft to combat enemy aircraft. Essentially they wanted a "sea Stuka" (Junkers Ju 87). [8] The aircraft was to have floats and a range of 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) and a maximum speed of 400 kilometres per hour (220 kn). [9] Dornier set about designing a floatplane.
The Dornier Do 215 was a light bomber, aerial reconnaissance aircraft and later a night fighter, produced by Dornier originally for export, but in the event most served in the Luftwaffe. Like its predecessor, the Dornier Do 17, it inherited the title "The Flying Pencil" because of its slim fuselage. The successor of the Do 215 was the Do 217.
A cross section of the aircraft with labeled parts. The XP-80 had a conventional all-metal airframe, with a slim low wing and tricycle landing gear.Like most early jets designed during World War II—and before the Allies captured German research data that confirmed the speed advantages of swept-wings—the XP-80 had straight wings, similar to previous propeller-driven fighters.
