RAISING HAVOC IN THE ARDENNES

Description

Nicolas Trudgian’s new painting recreates an attack on January 23, 1945 by Douglas A-20 Havocs of the 410th Bomb Group and pays tribute to the Ninth Air Force pilots and crews who flew the tough missions during the Battle of the Bulge.

Locating an enemy convoy in open space near the German town of Blankenheim, the Havoc pilots make a swift attack diving from 8000 feet, catching the German Force by surprise. In the space of a few minutes the attack is completed and the convoy decimated.
