Bug Killer by Ivan Berryman. \u003cp\u003e Equipped with the experimental \u003ci\u003eMonica IIIE\u003c\/i\u003e detection device, Hawker Tempest EJ535 was deployed to the Fighter Interception Unit at Newchurch for evaluation in July 1944.  Originally developed as the AN\/APS 13, \u003ci\u003eMonica\u003c\/i\u003e had been intended as a rear-looking device to warn crews of attacks from behind.  Now modified to face forward, it became a valuable aid in the battle against Hitler's terror weapons, notably the V-1 Flying Bomb.  In the hands of the Fighter Interception Unit's then Commanding Officer Joseph Berry, this became a winning combination with no fewer than 52 \u003ci\u003eDoodlebugs\u003c\/i\u003e falling to Berry's guns - on one occasion, seven V1s being shot down by Berry in a single night. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSigned by Flying Officer Frank Wheeler DFC (deceased),\u003cbr\u003ePilot Officer Rusty Townsend,\u003cbr\u003eWarrant Officer Jack Hodges DFC\u003cbr\u003eand\u003cbr\u003eDerek Tapson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge Size Limited edition of 5 artist proofs.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Image size 26 inches x 17 inches (66cm x 43cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military Aviation Art Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54135153033549,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5449\/9149\/files\/2026NEWb0516.jpg?v=1781870413","url":"https:\/\/militaryaviationartprints.com\/products\/bug-killer-by-ivan-berryman-apb","provider":"Military Aviation Art Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
