Description

Equipped with new Fw190s, the notorious fighter interceptors of JG-2 achieved startling success against the still inexperienced USAAF B-17 crews that regularly visited occupied ports on the west coast of France in 1943. The Fw190 quickly established a fearsome reputation and became the mainstay of the German defense.

This spectacular painting highlights both the elegance and lethality of the Fw190. A group of A-3 and A-4s of JG-2 climb out over Théville in Western France, to intercept an in-coming armada of B-17 Fortresses en route to bomb the submarine pens at Lorient, in March 1943.
