Der Adler: der 1000 Bomber
(11 November 1945 cover)

Sometimes I don't invent the aircraft or do the artwork myself, but I find an image so inspiring that it prompts me to take it and use it to create something else from it.

That's what happened with this superlative CGI artwork of the Focke-Wulf "1000 x 1000 x 1000 B" tailless bomber project by Tim Cameron. My work represents an imaginary cover of the German (read: Nazi) propaganda magazine Der Adler dated November 1945 (which of course precludes the fact that the war would have gone on).

Although I do not like the morbid fascination that many have about Nazi weapons — heck! some people really seem to wish the Germans had won on certain sites or forums! — I recognize however that some of the aircraft projects developed under Nazi rule were excellent.

This is one of them, and Tim Cameron's artwork just screamed out for this re-creation. I thought the name of the project was not very sexy and so I rechristened it the "1000 Bomber" for more appeal (presumably in reference to a hypothetical Fw 1000 designation).

Hope you guys enjoy it!

• REALLY NICE! (Pixel-pencil)
• It's funny how many Nazi experiments made their way into modern technologies. (ONI-Defense)
• Heck! some people really seem to wish the Germans had won on certain sites or forums! I agree, but for a different reason. It seems as of there's no appreciation for the American, British, Russian, and Japanese designs from the same time! (ElSqiubbonator)
