In the early 1960’s, the General Dynamics art department produced this piece to illustrate their F-111B naval strike fighter:

A few years later, Convair’s art department produced this to illustrate their Model 44 VFX design concept… the VFX being the design competition that led to the F-14… the plane that followed the failed F-111B.

  1. Funny thing you probably noticed: all the aircrafts on the deck of the Model 44 one are made by Grumman (A-6 and Hawkeyes…), while on the GD one there are no aircrafts ouside the F-111…. Marketing director in strict control

  2. Awesome.
