Brazilian Military Aviation Art
Commissioned by a Brazilian author and publisher specialising exclusively in Brazilian Military Aviation, this illustration depicts a Brazilian Air Force fighter in flight.
The project combines historical research, technical accuracy and digital painting to recreate the aircraft, its markings and operational context while maintaining the dynamic character of aviation artwork.
The image shows a Mirage IIIEBR.
