Each print is personally signed by four iconic Luftwaffe fighter pilots who flew the Bf109 in combat during WWII, creating a sought after collector’s edition:

• Obergefreiter WALTER ERKER 
• Leutnant HUGO BROCH - Knight’s Cross / 81 victories 
• Unteroffizier HUBERT-LUDWIG PFLAUM - Iron Cross 

Plane type: Messerschmitt Bf109

Honed by the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War and put into practice in the conquest of Poland, the Messerschmitt Bf109 was one of the most advanced fighters of its time; well-armed with an all-metal monocoque construction, an enclosed all-weather cockpit, retractable landing gear and a liquid-cooled inverted engine, it formed the backbone of the Luftwaffe’s Fighter Arm. 

Constantly upgraded, its eternal battles with the Spitfire and Mustang lasted until the last day of the war. By then it was almost obsolete, having been superseded first by the Fw190 and then the Me262 jets, however with 33,984 built, more Bf109s were produced than any other fighter aircraft in history.
