Gunfight Over Rabaul
Nicolas Trudgians action packed painting shows an attack on Rabaul during the
fall of 1943. B-24 Liberators of the Army Air Force pound the harbor and docks
below whilst the Marines Corps pilots of VMF 214 - the famous Black Sheep
Squadron - provide top cover in their F4U Corsairs. A fierce dog-fight has
developed between the F4U pilots and Japanese Zeros. One Zero, already smoking,
begins to roll out of control, while the two F4U pilots turn their attentions on
to a second. Below further dog-fights are in progress, the air filled with
aerial combat. |
