A POWERFUL PIECE FROM ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST COLLECTIBLE AVIATION ARTISTS
THE EAGLES DIVIDE
by Robert Taylor
The Defense of the Reich, early 1945 and P-51 Mustangs of the 357th Fighter Grouphave spotted a group of Bf109s heading their way. Without hesitation they divehead-on in an attempt to break-up the enemy formation and for the pilots onboth sides the explosive encounter of close combat is suddenly upon them.
It had begun; the end game was inexorably in play. The final defeat of Germany and the end of Nazi tyranny was almost within sight but in the skies over Germany the defiant remnants of the Luftwaffe fought on with savage determination. Ever since the long-range American P-51 escort fighters had first appeared, the skies over the Reich had witnessed grim encounters with the Mustangs taking on the Luftwaffe as they tried to stop the heavy bombers of the USAAF reaching their targets. By early 1945 it was a losing battle, but still the Luftwaffe fought on and, in the resulting maelstrom of combat, the Mustang pilots still had their work cut out against these battle hardened, expert pilots
