Engelenvlucht #3

Two WWI-era biplanes dominate this striking cover — a British aircraft bearing roundel markings squares off in close quarters against a German plane marked with the Iron Cross, both banking through a luminous blue sky scattered with clouds. The tension of aerial combat is palpable without a shot being fired, rendered with meticulous detail that makes every strut and propeller feel tangible. The subtitle Zeppelin boven de Theems ("Zeppelin over the Thames") promises that this 2021 third volume in the series from Wallace and Rixen has even grander aerial drama waiting inside.
