Description: Low InventoryLimited Edition now SOLD OUT at the Publisher!Limited edition aviation art print Salute to the Brave signed by artist ANTHONY SAUNDERS. This image shows the fantastic story of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress Ye Olde Pub from the 379th BG as it limps home following a raid on Bremen on December 20, 1943. Luftwaffe ace Franz Stigler has approached the crippled B-17 in his Messerschmitt Me109 fighter and decides to escort the bomber to the North Sea coast as it heads for England. Stigler raised a salute to the stricken crew as he departed. This act of chivalry (a punishable offense) was not reported to the German command. Post-war, Stigler and pilot 2nd Lt. Charlie Brown were able to meet. The event was chronicled in the book titled A Higher Call : An Incredible True Story of Combat and Chivalry (book NOT included in this listing). Note that this print is NOT signed by Stigler or Brown.The photos do not do this extremely well-done print justice. Saunders does beautiful work. Please note that the digital photos have been altered; aircraft markings on the actual print are historically accurate. Overall print size is approximately 26.5 by 19.25 inches. The Limited Edition of Salute to the Brave was limited to just 275 artist signed and numbered copies. The COA is provided.
