A
classic head-to-head combat between Spitfire and Me109 fought
over the south coast of England on 25th August, 1940. Scrambled
to intercept a raid approaching the Isle of Wight, Squadron
Leader Sandy Johnstone hurriedly climbed his 602 Squadron
Spitfires to 15,000. In spite of notice, the Spitfires intercepted
the large force of 50 Ju88s and Do17s, escorted by Me109s
and 110s, before they reached the target. The CO downed a
Me110 by blowing off its tail unit before becoming embroiled
in a one-on-one dogfight with a Me109 - Nick's painting captures
the action - the CO dispatching the enemy aircraft to notch
up his second victory of the day. 602's tally amounted to
13 aircraft destroyed, without loss. Prints are signed by
Sandy Johnstone and 602 Squadron Battle of Britain pilots. |
