The future pilots | Competence 86 By @xpilar

This picture was taken on the eve of World War II in the city of Sevastopol. The author had an irresistible love for aircraft. He most likely had a dream of becoming a pilot. Piloting combat vehicles at that time was the dream of every boy.

On canvas are written two boys and one adult man seated on what they are on the seafront promenade. They look at the sky, where the plane is depicted. The fact that they are seated on the embankment tells us that they are in the city limits. Trinity is very tanned. Judging by this fact, we can assume that they disappear daily at sea. One of them is a lean physique. We see the vertebrae clearly visible.

The boys of the war years did not spend time in the apartment all day, but were actively spending time in the fresh air. Their haircuts are in fashion of that time, short with combing back. Do not feed the boys with bread, but let them drive along the street. For this reason, they have a thin physique. Not physique, but body subtraction. They can not be compared with modern guys who spend a very long time sitting in front of the monitor.

The boys took off all their clothes. The man is sitting in his underpants. Apparently he tells the boys about the sky, about airplanes. Most likely he is a pilot himself, or has something to do with aviation. The boys are carefully listening to the man, as well as carefully watching the plane writing intricate somersaults in the sky.

There are no clouds in the sky, except for two small clouds. Most likely the airplane conducts a training flight, or demonstration flights. Two hydroplanes have already crouched on the sea surface, while the third continues to weave.
