Obraz Me 262 "Dawn Intrusion" od Roberta Baileye

Aug 21, 2017

Dnes přiblížíme část odměny jedné z odměn tohoto projektu, označené jako “Fighter Ace”. Je to unikátní print o velikosti 51 x 78 cm od kanadského výtvarníka Roberta Baileye. Tématem je okamžik, kdy se německý pilot Walter Schuck z JG 7, vrací v zimní ráno na začátku roku 1945 se svým Me 262 na základnu v Brandenburg-Briest, kterou nachází pod útokem amerických P-51 a P-47. Zatímco Bf 109G z ochrany letiště zasahují proti útočníkům Schuck přerušuje přistání a snaží se s Mustangy za zády uniknout...



Limitovanou edici určenou pro Muzeum jsme získali od autora jako jeho snahu muzeu pomoci a zároveň jako „odměnu“ za naši pomoc při přípravách jiných jeho tematických obrazů.

Každý z obrazů je číslovaný a podepsaný autorem. Podpisy veteránů Luftwaffe na nich přibyly v roce 2004, během setkání k výročí letecké bitvy nad Krušnohořím. Dva z veteránů podepsaných na obrazech, Alfred Ambs a Hellmut Detjens, jsou bývalí piloti proudových Me 262 od III./Jagdgeschwader 7.

Pokud se chcete o obrazu dozvědět více a třeba i porovnat cenu naší odměny s galeriemi Aviation Art po světě, doporučujeme si vygooglit termín „Bailey Dawn Intrusion“.

Lt. Alfred Ambs získal 7 vzdušných vítězství, z toho všechna na Me 262.

Jeho přítel již od dob války, Uffz. Hellmut Detjens, rovněž pilot Me 262 získal jedno potvrzené vítězství a to jako pilot Bf 109 dne 11. 9. 1944 (tedy v bitvě, které je věnováno naše muzeum).


Alfred Ambs, Hellmut Detjens, Kovarska 2005

Uffz. Heribert Koller, pilot Fw 190 z 5./JG 54, dosáhl během války ve více než 350 operačních letech 49 potvrzených vítězství.



Manfred Kudell, pilot Fw 190 z JG 1 a JG 4 byl vážně popálen v posledních dnech války během bojů v okolí Berlína.
