A uniquetribute to one of the Luftwaffe’s highest scoring Acesand greatest fighter leaders.
STEINHOFF TRIBUTE
By Robert Taylor
It is August, and the height of the Battle of Britain: Heinkel 111 bombers have attacked airfields and radar stations along the south coast, and a frantic dog-fight has developed as Bf109s of JG-52 clash with Hurricanes of the RAF’s No. 32 Squadron.Steinhoff’s Bf109E, which dominates the image, provides a magnificently detailed study of this superlative fighter, as he and his fellow Luftwaffe pilots do their best to protect the retreating Heinkels.
When released from the shackles of close bomber escort, the experienced Luftwaffe pilots, flying the magnificent Messerschmitt Me109, were second to none. Leading 4./JG52 was a dedicated and courageous 26 year old pilot, already seasoned by six months of aerial combat. He would continue to fly combat almost without a break another five years, and become one of the Luftwaffe’s greatest and most highly respected fighter leaders.
Johannes Steinhoff – “Macky” to his legions of friends – is remembered as a man of steadfast honor, great personal charm and infinite courage, and it is with pride that the Military Gallery issued a special Tribute Edition to this great Luftwaffe Fighter Ace.
Robert Taylor has recreated a spectacular painting showing Macky Steinhoff in action over the White Cliffs of Dover. Below the action-packed scene is a wonderful panoramic aerial view of Dover Harbor, the legendary White Cliffs, and the carefully researched landscape showing the south-eastern tip of the British Isles as it was in 1940.
