    I see a budding War Artist here chaps. I may have a job vacant on the Sniper's Times.

    Good work , Nathan!

    Please forgive my pointing out one small thing, the Germans did not use the swastika as a national emblem in W.W.1.

    Well spotted Dave.
    I did not even see it until I went back and had a second look.

    But lots of pilots used the "good luck" swastika in WW1 (well, from ancient India onwards!) so this is actually a bit over-critical.

    Great picture, Nathan - look forward to seeing more.
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    Were the good luck symbols not generally a Fylfot cross. A reversed Swastika?

    Don't know if they were always reversed, but I remember reading that they were seen as symbols of good luck.

    I like your work. How about playing a game and taking photos then substituting a drawing for each photo you use in an AAR? That would be different and cool.

    That would take me a while, but it would be very fun to do! Good idea.
