EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a pivotal moment in World War II history, as a German Messerschmitt fighter plane swoops down to attack a British parachutist. The intensity of the scene is palpable, with the brave parachutist clearly in danger as the enemy aircraft bears down on him.
The illustration, dating back to the 1940s, is reminiscent of children's short stories from that era - tales of heroism and bravery in the face of adversity. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by young men during wartime, their courage and determination in the face of overwhelming odds.
The unattributed artwork featured in this print is both evocative and haunting, capturing a moment frozen in time during one of humanity's darkest hours. It transports us back to an era when the world was at war, when every day brought new challenges and dangers for those fighting on both sides.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the horrors of war and the resilience of those who fought against tyranny. It stands as a testament to the human spirit and serves as a poignant reminder that freedom is never free.
