Defiance at Dieppe
by
Robert Bailey
In the biggest aerial engagement since the Battle of Britain, American, British and Canadian Spitfires fight it out with the Luftwaffe above the French coast near Dieppe on August 19th.1942. A German 109 pilot parachutes from his stricken machine, risking a spectacular low level jump. Below, German armor can be seen moving to the beach, while on the horizon is the combined Canadian/British ill-fated landing at the town of Dieppe.
This action-packed print is signed by American and Canadian Spitfire pilots, and is a 'must' for your aviation art buy-list! Three of these pilots were actually involved in this battle! (The two U.S. pilots and Flt. Sergeant Matheson).
