Description

The aviation art print by Heinz Krebs shows Messerschmitt Bf-110s and P-47 Thunderbolts. Flying out of Wels in Austria, II/ZG 1, the “Wasp Wing” as it was known, was a veteran Luftwaffe unit of the Eastern front and the only surviving unit operational on the Messerschmitt Me110 twin engine “destroyer”. When in June 1944 Wasps participated in the attack against U.S. bombers headed for the city of Budapest, it was the last time the Me110 was flown into battle in daylight. Here P-47's of the famous Checkertail Clan on escort duty, suddenly and ferociously attack two Me110's of the Wasps.

Hans Lutter...This particular print has also been signed by Luftwaffe Legends Knights Cross Holders Wolfgang Schenck , Martin Drewes , Wolfgang Falck , Werner Hoffmann , Kurt Dahlmann and Ralph von Rettberg...These signatures are extremely rare and are now impossible to obtain...priced @ £275.00...To complement the purchase of your fine art print, we are now able to offer a professional Picture Framing service.
