Tribute to Walter Briegleb by Ivan Berryman [Postcard]

Artist: Ivan Berryman [browse all Ivan Berryman]

Aircraft Depicted: Junkers JU-88 [other products featuring this aircraft]

Walter Briegleb is shown in his Ju88 G.7 4R+BR as he stalks his prey - on this occasion a Lancaster. Flying below their target, his crew would aim upward firing cannon at the inner wing of the bomber, igniting the fuel tanks. For the bomber crews, they were very much defenceless against this type of attack, and often had no idea of the presence of an enemy aircraft in the dark.
