Cover Art
By the war's end design techniques in use in naval aircraft had advanced considerably from the early days of operations around the Dardanelles and Gallipoli, as is evidenced by the clean lines of this Hansa-Brandenburg W.29, illustrated by Jim Dietz. More evidence of the direction the war at sea had taken is had in the presence of that vessel most often associated with the Great War-the U-Boat.

1994: Volume 9, Number 3
Cover Art
In many ways, World War I was the last of the old wars and the first of the new, with a resulting juxtaposition of technologies. In this painting, prepared especially for this issue of Over the Front, artist Jim Dietz presents just such a scene, inspired by a well known photo of Jasta 12 aircraft at Toulis aerodrome on the eve of the March 1918 German offensive. A one-horsepower "tractor" is used to assist in moving a 110 h.p. Fokker Dr.I triplane into position for takeoff. The sight of horses on the airfield must have been a nostalgic one for those many pilots who were former cavalrymen.

Cover Art
Tom Leamon, President of the Atlantic Coast Chapter of the League painted the unique portrait that adorns the front cover of this issue and captioned it himself this way: "It is a literal portrait of [Eugene Jacques] Bullard in an 'expressionist' setting against the background of the French Tricolor. I attempt to evoke Bullard's combat and post-war history as well as to suggest across the top: his survival skills suggested by the boxer's arm and drum set emblazoned with the period-type title of his post-war jazz band. The monkey Bullard flew with is "close to his heart," playing with the ephemeral fame of his Croix de Guerre decoration. His grim time in the trenches is noted also."
