MOUNTAIN
WOLF by Nicolas Trudgian
Set
in a spectacular mountain scene, Nicolas Trudgian's print
records the last days of air combat as World War II drew to
a close. The most feared of the Luftwaffe's remaining units
were those equipped with the remarkable Me262 fighter jet,
but they were vulnerable to attack during take-off and landing.
Commanding JV-44, General Galland countered the threat by
employing Fw190 "Dora" 9s to fly top cover. Nicolas
Trudgian's painting depicts the colourful Fw190 of Hptm Waldermar
Wubke of JV-44 as he prepared to scramble "Red Three"
at Ainring airfield in may 1945.
Each
print is individually signed by the artist and TWO Luftwaffe
Knight's
Cross holders who flew the Fw190D-9 operationally during World
War II
