Description

The English winter of 1943/44 wqs a tough time for many Americans. Having arrived during April 1943 at a picturesque Station 131 Nuthampstead , Hertfordshire , they soon learned about the vagaries of the sometimes inhospitable British climate. As though the struggle with engine problems on the P-38 Lightnings were not enough , the ground crews had to cope with atrocious cold and damp dawns in order to prepare aircraft for the almost daily escort missions. Today , however , whilst other airfeilds further towards the coast are clearing fast , the 55th Fighter Group is firmly grounded. As the prospect of sa dsy's inactivity dawns on the tired and cold ground crew - young men grown old before their time by the demands of war - schoolboy mischief is revived as the first snowball fight is initiated...Signed by the artist : Phillip West...priced @ £95.00...To complement the purchase of your fine art print, we are now able to offer a professional Picture Framing service.
