The Wright brothers' machines, the Sopwith Camel and the Fokker D.VII are among the pioneer and wartime aircraft drawn by Roy Cross (1924–2024), the British aviation and marine artist. These vintage prints come from Hugh Evelyn's Early Aeroplanes 1907–1918, published in London in 1962. Blériot, Antoinette and Farman designs give way to wartime types, among them the S.E.5, Avro 504K and Handley Page O/400, with the Spad S.13 and Albatros D.V, while a racing Deperdussin recalls the Gordon Bennett competition of 1913.
