Open Assault by Robert Taylor Signed by an iconic Stuka pilot

  

A POWERFUL EDITION COMMEMORATING THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN. The Junkers Ju87 Sturzkampfbomber, known to the British simply as the Stuka, had already acquired a deadly reputation across Europe, its siren screaming as the ungainly dive-bomber struck terror into the hearts of those below. In 1940 its pilots crossed the Channel with their grim-looking aircraft to terrorize the southern towns and ports of England. In the battle that followed, Hurricanes of 501 Squadron tangle with Ju87 Stuka dive-bombers and Me109s during an enemy attack on vessels and port facilities in Dover Harbor. High explosive bombs detonate within the sheltered anchorage as escorting Bf109s from JG51 race in to protect their lumbering charges.

It is 29th July 1940. The Battle of Britain is approaching its height yet the exhausted RAF pilots are able to beat off the attack, dispatching four Stukas and two Me109s, for the loss of just one of their own.

Prints in this outstanding release are personally signed by Stuka and RAF pilots of the Battle of Britain, this makes for a very collectible piece. Each print has been signed by one of the last surviving Luftwaffe Stuka pilots from the war along with two pilots that flew Hurricanes with 501 Sqn in the Battle of Britain.
