Description: COMMEMORATING THE MIGHTY DUELS OVER THE REICH BETWEEN THE USAAF AND LUFTWAFFE DURING WWIITOP COVER by Gerald Coulson Every day when weather permitted, the bomber crews of the USAAF Eighth Air Force flew missions deep into Germany and other destinations under the rule of Nazi Germany. And every day they knew the enemy fighters were waiting for them. Only the fighter escorts stood between the bombers and potential decimation.Big Brothers and Little Friends – this was the enduring bond between the bomber crews and fighter pilots of the USAAF Eighth Air Force in their prolonged and hotly contested air war against Hitler’s Nazi Germany, 1942-1945.Renowned Aviation Artist Gerald Coulson has reconstructed the deadly war game being played out in the icy, thin stratosphere high above a hostile territory, February 1944.THE SIGNATURES The print is personally autographed by the artist and three highly regarded Mustang fighter Aces:Colonel CLARENCE E 'BUD' ANDERSON – 16¼ victories Lieutenant Colonel ROBERT KARR – 6 victories Lieutenant Colonel CLYDE EAST – 14½ victoriesOriginally published in 2004 this historic print carries amazing autographs which can now never be repeated.
