Planejunkie.com announces a New Aviation Art Print by Anthony Saunders

PUYALLUP, Wash. - Feb. 4, 2022 - PRLog -- Messerschmitt Bf109s and the actual signatures of WWII Luftwaffe Aces make this a remarkable edition. With two print options to choose from this print comes signed by artist Anthony Saunders, every print bears the original autographs of two highly-regarded Luftwaffe Aces.

JG53 Pik As (Ace of Spades) was one of the Luftwaffe's oldest fighter units, having served in nearly every theater of the war in Europe by January 1944. The Geschwader had participated in the Battle of France, the Battle of Britain, and the Russian invasion. They'd fought in Italy, the Mediterranean, and North Africa, but in late 1943, with Allied heavy bombers reaching practically every part of Germany, II./JG53 was transferred to Austria to assist in the 'Defense of the Reich.'

Leading aviation artist Anthony Saunders has depicted this iconic unit to represent all men who flew Messerschmitt Bf109s in battle during WWII in his breath-taking painting. In January 1944, the battle-weary pilots of 6./JG53 are seen rushing across the snow-covered Alps on a defensive patrol. Staffelkapitän Alfred Hammer leads his pilots through a beguiling backdrop of majestic mountains, ice-clad lakes, and picturesque villages after departing their base at Seyring near Vienna, the largest and most important Luftwaffe airfield in the area, their serene tranquillity in sharp contrast to the violent intercepts to which they might be vectored at any moment.
