White Lily of Stalingrad Drawing

One of 30 big portraits from my series “ heroes of motherland” dedicated to real heroes, tankdrivers, aviators, soldiers, marines, and other. "White Lily of Stalingrad" Lydia Litvyak Shot down 14 aircraft and a spotter balloon. At the same time, Lydia Litvyak fought for only eight months. During this time, she flew 168 combat missions and conducted 89 air battles. In less than 22 years, she died in battle. In one of the first sorties over Stalingrad, Lydia managed to shoot down two enemy aircraft - a Ju-88 bomber and a Bf-109 fighter. The Bf-109 pilot was a German baron, Knight's Cross, who won 30 air victories. The German was an experienced pilot and fought to the last. But in the end, his car caught fire from a shell fired by Lydia and began to fall rapidly. The pilot jumped out with a parachute and was taken prisoner. During interrogation, he asked to show him the one who knocked him down. Seeing a twenty-year-old girl, the German ace flew into a rage: “Are you laughing at me? I am a pilot who shot down over thirty planes. I am a Knight's Cross! Can't be that girl run over me!
