ASSAULT ON THE CAPITAL
by Robert Taylor
Robert
Taylor's final painting in his 60th Anniversary trilogy features
a scene from the attacks on the afternoon of September 7,
1940. Led by Herbert Ihlefeld, Me109E's of II/LG 2 dive through
the bomber formation giving chase to Hurricanes of 242 Squadron
as Ju88s of KG30, having unloaded their bombs, head for home.
One Ju88 has been hit and is already losing height, and will
not return. Following behind He111s of KG53 try to keep formation
as they fly through flak. The sky is alive with action.
A
majestic painting by the world's foremost aviation artist,
depicting a moment from the defining day in the most significant
air battle ever fought. Prints are signed by fifteen Luftwaffe
pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain, and two additional
holders of the Knight's Cross.
