Description

The success of Operation Bodenplatte, on January 1, 1945, was to be achieved by mass surprise attacks on British and American bases in France, Belgium and Holland. It was a battle fought at great cost to the Luftwaffe. During the battles some 300 Luftwaffe aircraft were lost. Though 200 Allied aircraft were destroyed, most on the ground, pilot losses were light. Nicolas Trudgian's brilliant painting takes us right into the action above the Allied air base at Eindhoven. Me262 jets join a concentration of Me109s and Fw190s of JG-3 fighter wing, as they hurtle across the airfield in an assault that lasted 23 minutes, while Spitfires from 414 Sqn RCAF do their best to repel the attack. On the ground Typhoon fighters of 439 Sqn take a hammering. ...signed by the Artist : Nicolas Trudgian and Oberstleutnant Helmut Bennemann , Oberstleutnant Helmut Ballewski , Oberfeldwebel Werner Hohenberg and General Walter Krupinski...priced @ £175.00...To complement the purchase of your fine art print, we are now able to offer a professional Picture Framing service.
