STUKA!
by Robert Taylor

A limited edition featuring the remarkable Ju87 Stuka. An evil-looking aircraft, its spatted undercarriage for all the world looking like the extended talons of some monstrous bird, the Ju87 Stuka was arguably the most menacing looking combat aircraft ever conceived. Having the ability to make an almost vertical controlled dive, its pilots could plant their bombs with greater accuracy than any other dive-bomber of the war, but its effectiveness required total control of the air, and over Southern England that was a situation it never got. Quickly the Stuka pilots found how vulnerable they were against the fast manoeuvrable fighters of the RAF. The Stuka, when dressed for war, was an awesome spectacle. Robert Taylor's painting shows a formation of Ju87s bombed up and fitted with long range tanks heading out on a shipping strike over the Mediterranean in 1941. Each print in the edition is signed by four highly decorated Ju87 Stuka pilots: Gerhard Studemann, Kurt Kuhlmey, Franz Kieslich and Helmut Fickel.
