Clash
of Eagles
Due to popular request, we
have decided to make giclees of the image Clash of Eagles. Both pilots are
deceased and giclee is signed by Roy Grinnell only. Lt. Joe Bennett
from the 4th Fighter Group (Debden Eagles) in his P-51B was attacked by
Lt. Hubert Heckman in his Me-109 (Ausberg Eagle). Heckman's guns jammed.
but did not want the P-51 to get away so he rammed Bennett. Bennett bailed
out. Heckman crash landed. Bennett became a POW. After the war, the
two became friends and met every year for their reunion. |
