The Channel Dash, by Robert Taylor, Signed, Limited Edition, 5 Axis Signatures
Framed in October 2000, the frame has some dings and the size is 36"x27"x1. Undetected, the battlecruisers Schamhorst and Gneisenau, together with the cruiser Prinz Eugen and supporting vessels, had escaped from the French port of Brest, and were making an audacious dash - in broad daylight and under the noses of the enemy - to the safety of the Elbe Estuary. But first they must sail through the Straits of Dover, one of the narrowest and most heavily defended straits in the world. Everything depended on surprise - and air cover. Given the job of providing that air cover was one of Hitler's youngest Generals, Adolf Galland, who through diligent planning and daring tactics ensured the operation was a complete success. Galland later described the mission as one of the most important and successful of his career. Overall stretched canvas size: 36" wide x 24" high.
Driginally created as the first in the famous'Galland Trilogy', The Channel Dash, signed by Adolf Galland and veterans of Operation Cerberus, became one of the most collectible limited editions ever published by the Military Gallery.
