Scale Aircraft Views by Matt Jefferies

I have a box of old magazines that my father was saving, and I finally got around to looking through them. I came across a 1955/56 Air Progress (older than me!!) that featured a large section of Matt Jefferies aircraft drawings! Thought I'd share a couple (I took photos because I didn't want to risk putting the mag in the scanner - it's sort of turning to dust in my hands!)

Those are awesome! Thanks for sharing them.

Given the praise for MJ in the P-35 blurb, one wonders if there are more in other issues of the magazine.

Very nice! Most aircraft artists today are lucky to get any sort of attribution at all.

There were quite a lot in this issue, but I'm way too lazy to shoot them all.

Having paged thru this now, I remember looking thru it when I was a kid.

I had no idea.
Thanks for sharing those!

Oooooh I love the Skyray. So short and swoopy!

Still looks futuristic--though I have a soft spot for that super Sabre too.
