Description

The Battle of Britain is reaching its climax and, for the first time, the Luftwaffe tastes defeat. Anthony Saunders’ compelling new painting brings to life a typical cameo from those long and arduous aerial contests; a Me109 from JG-26 has taken a hit during the fighting, the engine is overheating, and beginning to trail smoke. But the Squadron Commander, the legendary Adolf Galland, closes in to escort the stricken fighter back across the Channel.
