Open Assault by Robert Taylor. \u003cp\u003e The Junkers Ju87 Sturzkampfbomber, known to the British simply as the Stuka, had already acquired a deadly reputation across Europe, its siren screaming as the ungainly dive-bomber struck terror into the hearts of those below. In 1940 its pilots crossed the Channel with their grim-looking aircraft to terrorise the southern towns and ports of England. Robert Taylors painting Open Assault, depicts Hurricanes of 501 Squadron attacking a force of Ju87 Stukas as they dive-bomb naval vessels and installations in the port of Dover on 29 July 1940. High explosive bombs detonate within the sheltered anchorage as escorting Bf109s from JG51 race in to protect their lumbering charges. Four Stukas and two Me109s are despatched, for the loss of just one RAF aircraft. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Signed by Group Captain Byron Duckenfield AFC (deceased), \u003cbr\u003eLeutnant Wilhelm Noller (deceased), \u003cbr\u003eTony Pickering AFC, \u003cbr\u003eSquadron Leader Doug Nicholls DFC (deceased), \u003cbr\u003eMajor Erich Rudorffer (deceased) \u003cbr\u003eand \u003cbr\u003eOberleutnant Gunther Seeger. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Collectors Edition : signed limited edition of 25 artist proofs.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Paper size 33 inches x 25 inches (83cm x 64cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military Aviation Art Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54135207231821,"sku":null,"price":375.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5449\/9149\/files\/2026NEWdhm1753.jpg?v=1781871455","url":"https:\/\/militaryaviationartprints.com\/products\/open-assault-by-robert-taylor-ap","provider":"Military Aviation Art Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
