Description

A POWERFUL EDITION PAYING TRIBUTE TO GERHARD BARKHORN HUNTERS AT DAWN By Robert Taylor The great Ace Gerhard Barkhorn, flying his Bf109 G-6, leads II./JG52 as they climb out from their base near the Black Sea, early November 1943. The crisp air of day break is temporarily punctuated by the roar of Daimler-Benz engines as the deadly Messerschmitt fighters set off on their daily hunt for Soviet aircraft over the front line. Those Aces with over 100 victories were exceptional; to reach 200 victories was a spectacular achievement. Yet two men went even further shooting down more than 300 enemy aircraft which placed them in a league of their own. They were the elite of the elite, and their names are legendary – Erich Hartmann and Gerhard Barkhorn. It is no surprise that these iconic Aces scored their victories whilst flying with the legendary fighter wing JG52 and the Geschwader boasted some of greatest Luftwaffe pilots of WWII among its ranks – including the top three Aces of all time. Such renowned pilots as Gunther Rall (275 victories), Wilhelm Batz (237 victories), Hermann Graf (212 victories) and Helmut Lipfert (203 victories) helped this formidable unit notch up more than 10,000 victories making it the most successful fighter wing in history. THE SIGNATURES The print is signed by the artist Robert Taylor and two i conic Luftwaffe Aces who flew on the Russian Front during World War II: Oberfeldwebel WILLI RESCHKE Knights Cross – 27 victories Leutnant HUGO BROCH Knights Cross – 81 victories This outstanding piece is the perfect opportunity for collectors to invest in a true piece of aviation history.
