Faust also illustrated several books, and created a large variety of other aviation related drawings and paintings during his long career, primarily depicting old warplanes.

Many of these are currently displayed at the Allen Airways Flying Museum in El Cajon, California, founded by Willis M. “Bill” Allen, Jr., a noted pilot, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Allen is past president of the International Air & Space Hall of Fame, and, as well, served for 24 years as a member of the Board of Directors of the San Diego Air & Space Museum. Thanks to Bill Allen’s generosity and cooperation, his collection of Charles R. Faust aviation art has been photographed, digitized, and is now offered here for public view.
