"CHANNEL HUNTERS"
Helmut Wick was one of the great Luftwaffe personalities of the Battle of Britain - fearless and motivated, his score rapidly increased. His speciality, hunting for RAF Fighters over the South Coast of England, was dangerous work and, almost inevitably, led to his death. His Me109 was fatally damaged by John Dundas of 609 Squadron and, although Wick was seen to bail out, he was never found - yet another victim of the most dangerous enemy of all - the Channel. Nick's superb drawing features the Me109E of Wick hunting over the English coast, along with his wingman Gunther Seeger.
The drawing is on A3 sized Paper and has been signed by the following Battle of Britain Me109E pilots:
Gunther SEEGER - JG2
Erich RUDORFFER - JG2
Hans-Ekkehard BOB - JG54
Maximillian MAYERL - JG51
Gunther RALL - JG52
Hugo DAHMER - JG26
Edmund 'Paule' ROSSMANN - JG52
Otto SCHULTZ - JG51

"Jagdflieger!"
At the outbreak of WW2 the Luftwaffe had some of the finest Fighter Pilots in the world at their disposal. Some of these had cut their teeth during the Spanish Civil War, others were to hone their skills during the early campaigns of Poland, Norway and France. They also had some of the best fighter aircraft - the single-seat Me109E and the twin-engined Me110 'Zerstorer' or destroyer. When the Battle of Britain was being fought the Luftwaffe Fighter pilots - or Jagdflieger - had one of the most difficult assignments, protecting Luftwaffe bombers, seeking out RAF fighters, and all in a very short range aircraft like the Me109E. Despite this, RAF pilots held their enemies in great respect - and rightly so! In a tribute to the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain, Nick Trudgian has produced a superb drawing featuring the Me109E of Gerhard Schopfel, leading III/JG26, along with Me110's, on 18th August 1940. Schopfel demonstrated on this day the skill amassed by the Luftwaffe - spotting the Hurricanes of 501 Squadron climbing for altitude over Canterbury, Schopfel decided to attack ALONE! In quick succession he shot down FOUR Hurricanes, only breaking off when his windscreen was sprayed with oil from his final victim.
This wonderful drawing is A3 Portrait size, unframed, and has been signed by no fewer that 23 Luftwaffe Pilots who flew during the Battle of Britain:
Wolfgang SCHENK - Me110
Rolf HERMICHEN - Me110
