A NEW MAINSCREEN FOR EAW ..IT SHOWS SOME OF THE MAIN GERMAN ACES OF WW2 .. THEY ARE..(from left to right) Adolf Galland,Udet,Walter Nowotny,Gunther Rall,Hans Rudel(yes the Stuka Master:),Wolfgang Falck(bf110s),Erich Hartmann(the war and the worlds leading ace),Herman Graf and Priller- maybe just after a good sortie judging by the grin...

 This is not any kind of tribute to the Luftwaffe or the nazis  but just some of the pilots and their craft (which is what drew me to EAW in the first place so please take it as so :)

ABOUT THE ARTWORK by Keith Ferris...

"I was fascinated by the German Luftwaffe's heavily armed and armored 'Sturmgruppen,' which were hurled at unfortunate American bomb groups," explains Ferris, a major contributor to the Air Force Art Program. "The German formations often passed one bomber unit - just beyond the lethal 3,500-foot range of their .50 caliber machine guns - while positioning themselves to attack the lead group.

That is just what they are doing in Real Trouble - one of the most aptly named aviation prints The Greenwich Workshop has ever published. "Both sides recognized real trouble when they saw it!" Ferris echoes. "Lt. Bretschneider, flying the Focke-Wulf 190 named 'Rauhbautz [Tough Guy] VII,' leads his wingman and the right side of his formation toward a lethal attack with bomber-destroying 20 and 30mm cannon . . . while showing well-earned respect for the B-17s' defenses." 

Ferris includes a formation of Bf 109G-6 light fighters flying cover for the Fw190s, as B-17Gs of the 384th Bomb Group must wait in suspense as Real Trouble passes them by. The result is aviation art at its finest and most precise.
