Eastern Artists' Concepts of Western aircraft during the Cold War.

[F.L.]

Is there any art of Western aircraft seen by the East ?

It seems to me that this topic can be closed due to the lack of such pictures, if they existed, in the public domain

Il me semble que ce sujet peut être fermé en raison du manque de telles images, si elles existaient, dans le domaine public

Thanks, what a shame !

And in Polish, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Czechoslovakian and other Warsaw Pact country magazines ?
& the Chinese magazines ?

There are sometimes nice paintings in Hungarian magazines and books, but mostly of aircraft used in Hungary (mostly Hungarian, German, Soviet types). I don't know of any such collection on the Internet and I haven't found any.

The purpose of this thread is to find images similar to this one : https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/th...s-of-soviet-aircraft-during-the-cold-war.275/
But in the contrary sense.

And in children's picture books ? The "capitalist" planes were not represented ?

Soviet secrecy also applied to Soviet citizens. That is why it was so "effective. That is why "children's books" were most often illustrated with Western airplanes - neatly copied from illustrations in Western magazines, so there was no need to try to make something up. The books simply did not say that these were Western planes, but signed, for example, "fighter" without explanation. The appearance of Soviet modern airplanes was concealed by all means, showing their populace only military vehicles that were decades out of date, which is why the West had to invent the appearance of new Soviet airplanes.

Moved to Theoretical Fake and Generic Projects section.

Mostly Western aircraft were well known so there was little need for Soviet artists to speculate on what they might look like, as compared to the secrecy of the Soviet Union.

Here are some drawings of Western aircraft intended for military service training: A-37B, Alphajet A, Black Hawk, Apache, F-111E, Jaguar E & F-4F !
