Snow Angels - 1/10 Artwork - Limited Edition of 10

From early 1941 the Hawker Hurricane started operating as an "intruder" aircraft, patrolling German airfields in France at night to catch bombers taking off or landing. Making their way east from Britain, they offered support in many different territories such as the Soviet Union, Italy, Norway, South Africa, Belgium, Poland, Finland, Czechoslovakia, and Greece. Germany invaded Russia in June 1941. Three months later, 24 Hurricanes of 81 and 134 Squadrons were flown off the aircraft carrier HMS Argus to land in the northern USSR to provide reinforcements for the Soviet fighter defenses. Another 15 Hurricanes in crates, along with 2,600 RAF personnel, were delivered by sea. These Hurricanes were assembled amongst primitive conditions in just nine days and flown to Vaenga on September 12th. The winter snows began in late September and temperatures plummeted to −23 to −26 degrees C, making a charming scene at times. This print is a part of my digital art collection 'Angle of Attack.' It is about celebrating the brave men and women who reached to the skies for victory during the Second World War, a period forever marked in history as one of the most innovative times in aviation. As technology continues to automate 21st century airplanes, few modern pilots still aim to achieve the knowledge and talent of their ancestors. May these images continue to honor and preserve some of the most influential flying machines of all time and the pilots who flew them. May their stories, talent, devotion, and legacies live on forever. All limited edition prints come signed by the artist, Brady Skye, with a certificate of authenticity included.
