Air War
Salute to the Brave
Anthony Saunders. During a bomb run over Bremen, Germany, on December 20, 1943, “Ye Olde Pub”– a B-17 Flying Fortress with the 527th Bomb Squadron – suffered severe damage from enemy flak. As pilot Charlie Brown steered for home, he spotted a Bf 109 fast approaching; LIMITED EDITION however, luckily for Brown and his crew, the Luftwaffe fighter pilot, Franz Stigler, mercifully spared them, instead escorting the bomber across the North Sea to safety. This limited edition print captures the nearly destroyed aircraft alongside its unlikely savior. Signed by the artist. 26½"x 19¼". #706485 $109.95
U.S. Airborne Tanks 1939-1945

It was the start of the Second World War which accelerated efforts to produce an airborne tank and the means of delivery. 208 pages, 100 B&W photos, 6"x 9¼", hardcover. #111998 $29.95
