Description

In just six weeks Hitlerâ??s forces had overrun Western Europe as once-proud armies swiftly fell before the might of the German â??Blitzkriegâ??. It was a devastating defeat, and now only Britain stood alone. Few thought she could survive. As Churchill pledged that Britain would never surrender, a German invasion seemed inevitable. But before any invasion could take place the Luftwaffe must neutralise the RAF and win control of the skies over southern England. Awaiting them was a small, but resilient band of young men, the pilots of RAF Fighter Command. On 12 August, the Germans turned their full attention to the forward fighter bases and radar stations, hoping to obliterate them once and for all. From Norway in the north, through the Low Countries and northern France to Brittany in the west, the Luftwaffe threw every available aircraft into the attack. For the young men of Fighter Command the next seven days of fighting would leave them exhausted and all but spent: They were to be the hardest days of the Battle of Britain, culminating on Sunday 18 August.. Robert Taylorâ??s magnificent masterwork, Air Armada, recreates a moment on that day as Heinz B�¤r, the Luftwaffeâ??s top-scoring NCO Ace of the Battle of Britain and one of the greatest Aces in history, climbs away from his airfield near Calais with the other pilots of 1./JG51 to escort the Do17's of KG76 for yet another deadly attack on the RAF. Away in the distance, Me110's from EPRG 210 also prepare to join the epic encounters that lie ahead...Signed by the Artist : Robert Taylor and Oberst HAJO HERRMANN , Major HANS-EKKEHARD BOB , Major ERICH RUDORFFER , Generalleutnant G�?NTHER RALL and Oberleutnant HEINRICH SUDEL...priced @ Sold...To complement the purchase of your fine art print, we are now able to offer a professional Picture Framing service.
