In the biggest aerial engagement since the Battle of Britain,
American, British and Canadian Spitfires fight it out with the
Luftwaffe above the French coast near Dieppe on August 19th.,
1942. A German 109 pilot parachutes from his stricken machine,
risking a spectacular low level jump. Below, German armour can
be seen moving to the beach, while on the horizon is the ill-fated
combined Canadian/British landing at the town of Dieppe. Signed
by two U.S. Spitfire pilots who flew in this battle; 2nd. Lt.
L.H. Brown and 2nd. Lt. J.D. Collinsworth. |
