The Museum has this art on a handout lithograph with real F-4 information on the back. I can scan it and post a clean copy of this image without the Photobucket banner.
Also I'd like to suggest we expand this thread to include other silly art like this with official histories, NOT user artwork, that already on this site to make this thread the place to check to see (before posting your copy of an image elsewhere) if the art already exists here. Here is a scan of another silly F-4 Phantom image (with a D4C number printed on the back) in the Museum's collection that I've been looking to see if it has been posted already. (Note: F-4 gets it done is the title I gave this scan.) The number is D4C-46029, and it is dated 5/67.

I remember reading some of the later Professor Branestawm books in my childhood. Usually his inventions were unique, so probably not - the Heath Robinson illustration is for one of the first, which I haven't read.I seem to remember similar art in a childrens book in the late 60's very early 70's where a kid wanted wings on a red wagon-decades before the movie Radio Flyer. I was at a doctor's office-Klich?-as a child seeing something similar. I love this design. Soap box derby entrants are too slick. An early Fat Albert film had more whimsical fare. Does this book have a section of similar oddites in the air all at once?
Well, it is most likely not either/or regarding humorous or not humorous, but rather both. The distinction lies between intention and perception.Hi,
can we consider this Baranowski flying-machine a humorous design.
GREAT! Great great great!Look for a copy of Bruce McCall's book Zany Afternoons, which mostly consists of illustrations of imaginary aircraft, cars, ships and buildings from around the 1930s. A couple of examples I found on the web:
and so on!
