Airline-Angels
The Airline Angels.
An original, unique in Belgium collection, pay a tribute to all the hostesses (and the hosts), who in a plane, are taking care of our comfort and our safety.
Of course, these angels of heaven combine grace and beauty.
At the very beginnings of air passenger transport and later, the competition is pushing the companies towards differentiation by all means. All these new airlines, of course, want to stand out from other airtransport companies. This differenciation is done by the color of the aircrafts, the badges, the flags, the service, and the uniforms of the flight attendants. Read more

Serge Reynaud & Claudia Marchesin

Bugatti - De Monge
Ettore Bugatti, cars and engines aficionado, became famous for his ability to conceive and build nice fast cars and powerful advanced in design engines. Indeed Bugatti cars won a myriad of trophy, and apparently nobody, yet, has succeeded in gaining so many victories within the same time frame.
Ettore Bugatti intrusion in aeronautical matters resulted, in cooperation with Pierre Louis de Monge, a Belgian engineer, to the construction of an ultra fine designed plane the Bugatti - De Monge 100 P, which never flew.
As many of Bugatti creations, this plane is not far from being an Art Deco masterpiece, knowing Ettore Bugatti passion for perfection.
The plane is exhibited at the EAA Air venture Museum.
An American team, is now building a replica of this plane with the aim to fly it. Read more
Catherine Corniolo-Boutin
Carefully selected planes and parts of the planes are the subjects of the inspired paintings of Catherine Corniolo Boutin. The artist never shows a complete plane on her acrylics paints, and this is probably what make her paintings appealing and differents.
One of her theme is the aircraft carrier and aircraft carrier planes which were the subjects of an exhibition "Flight Deck" held from July,2 till August,14 2011; at Angers-Marcé régional airport. A former exhibition held in 2010, named "Regards d'Aviateur" was depicting the daily life of land-based planes and teams.
Catherine Corniolo Boutin was selected to participate to the XVIIth National exhibition of the Army Painters, held from 17 June till 17 July 2011, which is hopefully, one of the steps to enter in the club of the official painters of the Army. She is also selected to participate to the 42nd exhibition of the Franch Navy to be held from December,2 till January,8 2012 at the French Navy National Museum - Paris- France.

Horst Gläsker - Art Aero
Wind turbines can be a concern for aviation. They trend to proliferate everywhere and to be sometimes implemented in runways paths. This may be a danger for planes. Uniformity of colour white or grey, is also part of their characteristics.
Fortunately Horst Gläsker proposes a nice solution to render these necessary but not always sympathetic electricity generators, in something nicer to look at, by transforming them in a colourful symphony of mast and propellers.

Movie about Spitfire and JU 52
Spitfires, and a junker JU52 who wants maybe to be taken for a Ford Trimotor; male pilots almost no macho, a matchless 5 stars hotel buttler played by John Malkovitch; and a sexy female pilot slightly provocative.
Which pilot has never dreamed about flying a spitfire, trying to fight the tights, that a glamorous young lady pilot, carelessly throw from the window of her plane?
Humor, mythic planes, fluidity of the pictures and controls, adventure and action movie music.
No it is not a great history, but an advertisement to launch the Spitfire watches from IWC.
Maybe or maybe not an anthology advertisement, but with no doubt nice planes and pictures to fill the eyes.
