Racing for the coast, following a bombing mission over southern
England, a straggling He111 of KG55 has been attacked by a Spitfire
of RAF Fighter Command. The bomber is badly damaged, but in the
nick of time a pair of Me109s of JG26 have come to the
rescue, sending the Spitfire diving into the Channel. The painting
is signed on the reverse by the following;
Me109 Aces Hugo Dahmer and Otto Schultz, plus He111 pilots Hajo
Hermann, Heinrich Suedel and Hans Kirn. |
