Heinkel He-111 medium range bombers of KG53 Legion Condor
cross the Channel coast. The yellow-nosed Messerschmitt 109 fighters
of JG26, led by their legendary general, Adolph Galland, sweep
through the bomber formation. The Luftwaffe crews are on their
way to meet the Royal Air Force during the third and last phase
of the
Battle of Britain, that epic fight which altered the course of
World War II.
Signed by He-111 pilots of the Legion Kondor; Herbert Wittmann
and Otto Engel,
plus JG-26 fighter pilots; Werner Molge and Heinz Gehrke. |
