Description

The air war fought in the skies above the inhospitable wastelands of the North African desert were among the most hotly contested of the war. The outcome of the bitter land war raging below largely depended upon who controlled the air space above , and both sides knew it. Nick's powerful painting brings home the intensity of the air fighting. A dog fight between Me 109's from JG-27 and P-40 Kittyhawks of the RAF's 112 Sq , has descended from 12,000 feet almost to ground level as the opposing pilots fight it out. Led by " Killer " Caldwell , and later Billy Drake , 112 Sq were in constant combat with Edu Neumann's fighters as they jousted for air supremacy above Rommel's advancing Afrikakorps tanks. Below them , the desolate beauty of the Libyan desert stretches as far as the eye can see... Signed and numbered by the Artist Nicolas Trudgian and Hauptmann Emil Clade , Group Captain Billy Drake DSO DFC , Squadron Leader Neville Duke DSO DFC and Oberst Eduard Neuman ...
