I did some book shopping recently, and among the publications I purchased is two-volume "Japanese Secret Projects. Experimental Aircraft of the IJA and IJN 1939-1945" by Edwin M. Dyer III. In the second part, on the page 35 there is a drawing of a certain extra-large flying boat design I knew already from this Forum.
Therefore I couldn't not notice the credits on the picture:
Vincent Bourguignon after Aleksandre Mariy

And I think we all know which of our esteemed members is Aleksandre Mariy? ;)

Congratulations ALVAMA!
I'm genuinely impressed. :)

And here's the original drawing:

It's nice to see a publisher who understands proper crediting for once.

That's his "guerre de nom" presently. He's using that as his publishing name, hence the Francophied name form!

I'm friends with him on Facebook and his name is listed as Aleksandr Mariy.

But anyways, it's a very wonderful feat indeed! Thanks for sharing!
