The original drawing edition - only one copy in stock

Issue One in Nicolas Trudgian's Air Combat Legends series featuring the great Luftwaffe Aces of World War II.
Arguably the most significant fighter leader of World War II, Adolf Galland took command of all German day and night fighters, but was in constant dispute with Luftwaffe supreme, Goering, who ultimately sacked him. Reinstated by Hitler, Galland returned to active combat in the final year of the war, commanding the legendary JV44 fighter wing, flying the Me262 jet. The great Adolf Galland ended the war as he had begun - flying fighters in daily combat, the only serving General ever to lead a combat wing in action. Nick's painting shows Galland's Me262s of JV-44 climbing to intercept a formation of B-17s in April, 1945.
