"Although I am always peeved when I see Stukas flying in the British airspace in 1944. C'mon, those were ancient planes by then! No way would they be sent anywhere, even just to deliver a message to the Howlers......
Art by Ayers and Tartaglione, very detailed planes."
I'm no authority, but I feel compelled to ask... are you SURE? The reason I ask is, I read in an interview that Dick Ayers was initially very put-off by Jack Kirby's LACK of authenticity when it came to weapons. Dick said he would re-draw all of Jack's guns so they'd look right. Now, that tells me Dick was someone who cared very much for historical authenticity, especially in a war book. Since
SGT. FURY
had become Dick's book, I find it hard to imagine him drawing airplanes that weren't right for the period. I mean, he was there.
Then again, Dick also complained early-on about the whole general "attitude" of The Howlers, as characters, and the way they talked, acted, and dressed. But he also said, months and months into working on the book, that his memories of the war started coming back to him, and he found, to his own surprise, that he DID remember certain characters not unlike the ones Jack came up with for this series. So the book was more believable than he first thought. (Funny how that worked out...)
