“The ‘Belle’ Under Attack” by Simon
Atack (2002)
Simon Atack has chosen the raid on Romilly-Sur-Seine, Dec. 20,1942, to depict the conditions in which the ‘Belle’ fought and flew. Behind and above her flies the huge bomber stream which was used to great effect against German targets, while a pair of Luftwaffe Focke Wulf FW190’s streak through the formation searching for a victim. This is a very special ‘remarqued’ print, where the artist has added a special pencil drawing of the ‘Belle’ in the margin, which commemorates touchdown after the 25th mission. This ultra-rare artwork is #2 in a worldwide edition of only 25! It is signed in pencil by the artist and Colonel Bob Morgan, legendary pilot of the ‘Memphis Belle’. This edition is long sold out and unavailable. Beautifully framed in deep mahogany and gilt-wood frame. 35 ½ x 28” Print size: 27 ½ x 19 ½ “. Accompanied by certificate of authenticity from the Military Gallery, Bath, England. << back
