The Limited Edition 400 prints $320

On 10th April 1945 1300 Bombers of The Mighty Eighth set out to distroy the last of the Luftwaffe's jet force. But - unknown to the Bomber crews and their fighter escort - the enemy jets were already airborne and waiting to spring their deadly trap. As the War in mainland Europe entered its final phase the German Armies defending Berlin fought on with savage determination. What remained of the Luftwaffe was pounded from the air and their airfields were hammered relentlessly. Aircraft - fuel - spare parts - ammunition and pilots were all in short supply but still they fought on with deadly effect. At the forefront of the German offensive and pivotal during the defense of the Reich were the highly advance jet fighters of the Luftwaffe. In particular the legendary Me 262.
