Kameraden by Mark Postlethwaite
The supremacy of the formidable U-Boat in Atlantic waters was at long last being challenged, around mid 1942, by a combination of improved radar, more lethal depth charges and long-range bombers, such as the B-24 Liberator. Grand Admiral Donitz then requested the assistance of heavy fighters to escort his U-boats to and from their French coastal bases. The Junkers 88 C-6 easily filled this role and, with its hefty forward-firing armament and a top speed of over 300 mph, soon became known as the "Junkers Menace'.
This spectacular print shows a formation of JU88 C-6's of V/KG 40 as they rendezvous with their Kriegsmarine comrades ('Kameraden") in the Bay of Biscay.
