| Appropriately,
Robert Taylor has chosen the Me109s of JG52 as his subject to represent
the fighter pilots of the Luftwaffe in his new tribute to these courageous
flyers, with his breathtaking painting Horrido! With the traditional
battle cry ringing in their ears, Squadron Commander Hptm Wolfgang Ewald
leads pilots of I./JG52 into combat. Based at Coquelles/Calais in
September 1940, the JG-52 Me109s hurtle down in a high-speed dive to
engage the enemy during the ferociously fought Battle of Britain. Robert
eloquently depicts these sleek and deadly fighters high over the Channel,
glinting and menacing against an ominous backdrop of heavy cumulous clouds
- the world's foremost aviation artist's skill bringing to life the
Luftwaffe's most successful fighter aircraft in action. |
