TWILIGHT
CONQUEST by Nicolas Trudgian
Flying
a twilight mission in his P-61 Black Widow on October 24,
1944, Colonel Johnson and his radar operator have picked up
a formation of three Fw190s; stealthily closing on their quarry
in the gathering dusk, 'O.B.' makes one quick and decisive
strike, bringing down the enemy leader with two short bursts
of fire. Banking hard, as the Fw190 pilot prepares to bale
out, he brings his blazing guns to bear on a second Fw190,
the tracer lighting up the fuselage of his P-61.
Each
print is signed by the artist and 422nd's famous CO,
Colonel Oris B. Johnson, together with THREE other P-61 night
fighter pilots
who flew the Black Widow in combat in the European Theatre
