And the book cover itself, rather scruffy now.

Hello Nutloose, sorry for taking so long to reply to your post. Busy times.

Thanks for the larger pictures. I'd say that the Blenheim (which I think is the best of the three pictures) may well be by Eric Carless as well - he didn’t sign all his work. Indeed, after some close study I have concluded that my Miles Magister is by him as well!

There were other artists working for FROG during the late 1960s, but Carless was by far the most prolific. Ken Rush took over as FROG’s main artist in 1972, but as the Junkers Ju 87 dates from 1968 and the Blenheim from 1969 that probably eliminates him from our investigation.

Thanks for the PM by the way. I’ve replied, so please check your messages.
