Eddie Moore created hundreds of aircraft illustrations and paintings during his thirty-year professional career at General Dynamics/Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth, Texas. His work appeared on book covers, conference room walls, engineering presentations, and in the pages and on the cover of Code One.
Eddie’s early career was spent creating and illustrating engineering presentations. His first painting for the company, completed in 1979 and shown here, was a next-generation trainer for the US Air Force. Called Model 210, the jet-powered aircraft was designed to be a replacement for the T-37 Tweet.
Eddie earned a reputation for bringing aircraft ideas to life. In fact, his last painting completed for Lockheed Martin shows a concept for an unmanned submarine-launched aerial vehicle called Cormorant.
This aviation art issue, which contains more of Eddie’s paintings, is a fitting tribute to his life’s work.
