DescriptionA fantastic action page. Autogiro against Sub in the waters off Coney Island. The accurate details in this piece are amazing. The, paste on, balloons have come off, but I still have them set aside. Great 30's action by a master.Social/Sharing |

He always delivers that air Of authenticity to his aircraft, or any other period machinery. If he includes it in an illustration, or story, you can be sure it is spot on. I could study his planes for many hours. When you factor in his other artistic talents, it provides an amazing illustrative experience. He is truly one of the greats.

Regardless, Heath's inks over Kaluta's pencils made for an interesting combination.

You feel as if you are facing the Axis planes and tanks in his pages. While some did not enjoy this paring, I like the end result. It showcases the talents of both legendary artists.
