Le Faucon du désert #4

The fourth installment of Franz Zumstein's desert-war series brings the action to Egypt, with a sleek twin-boom fighter — unmistakably a P-38 Lightning — roaring low over the sandy expanse near the great pyramids of Giza, a second aircraft visible in the formation behind it. Zumstein renders both the aircraft and the ancient monuments with crisp, sun-drenched detail, the warm ochre palette making the scene feel genuinely alive. Subtitled "Saqqara," this 2012 Delcourt volume promises another chapter where aviation history and North African landscape collide in spectacular fashion.
