Desert Sharks And Eagles Nicolas Trudgian Size: 35" x 23" Edition: 450 Subject: P40 Kittyhawks and Me109s in combat over North Africa. The air war fought in the skies above the inhospitable wastelands of the North African desert were among the most hotly contested of the war. The outcome of the bitter land war raging below largely depended upon who controlled the air space above, and both sides knew it.  Nicolas Trudgian's powerful painting brings home the intensity of the air fighting. A dog-fight between Me109s from JG-27 and P-40 Kittyhawks of the RAF's 12 Squadron, led by 'Killer' Caldwell, and later Billy Drake. No 112 Squadron were in constant combat with Edu Neumann's fighters as they jousted for air supremacy above Rommel's advancing Afrika Korps tanks.  Below them, the desolate beauty of the Libyan desert stretches as far as the eye can see. Each print in Nicolas Trudgian's Limited Edition, Desert Sharks And Eagles, is signed by 2 RAF and 2 Luftwaffe pilots who fought in the desert campaign: Hauptmann Emil Clade Group Captain Billy Drake Squadron Leader Neville Duke Oberst Eduard Neumann. £110.00
