It looks like it just rolled off the press. I doubt there’s a nicer copy out there. Nick’s had so many great prints that it’s hard to pick a favorite, but this is my favorite. The view he has chosen for the 262s make them look incredibly sleek. The airfield scene is outstanding. The sky & cloudscape capture spring so well. Superb signatures. Sold out immediately way back in the early 90s. The best thing about this print is, of course, the remarque. The detail is incredible. Amazing precision. Adolf Galland scrambles a flight of Me262 jets to meet an in-coming USAAF heavy bomber raid during the final stages of the Battle for Germany. The legend of Willie Messerschmitt’s Me262, and the elite fighter Aces who piloted this revolutionary jet aircraft, is as secure as any born during the Second World War. As they hurtled into the air, climbing at speeds hitherto unknown, a small group of seasoned pilots heralded a new generation of combat aircraft that would extend into the 21st century. At the spearhead of this new era in combat flying was the mercurial fighter leader Adolf Galland. Sacked for opposing the naive tactics of Luftwaffe supremo Hermann Goering, Galland found himself, as a General, once again leading a squadron of fighters into battle. Although too late to change the rapidly approaching defeat, this tiny group of highly decorated Aces fought a courageous rearguard action during the final Defense of the Reich. Seen blasting off an airfield in Bavaria are four Me262s, led by General Adolf Galland. Glistening in the damp air these sleek fighters are on full power in their rush to climb to altitude. Within minutes they will attack incoming mass formations of B-17s and B-24s. Below, the roads and buildings reflect the sunlight between the scattered clouds of a departing storm. Never framed, stored flat in a non-smoking, climate-controlled environment. Check my feedback - it's excellent. I ask for the same consideration from you.
