# 42 of 100 prints by/autographed John Shaw in 2001. On May 12, 1944 during homeland defense operations, Major Guenther Rall, commanding Me109s from JG11, effectively attacked a group of U.S. P-47 Thunderbolts of the 56th Fighter Group, nearly downing its famed leader, “Hub” Zemke. Rall found himself trapped in a formation of “Jugs”, employing for the first time an aerial strategy developed by their brilliant group leader, known as the “Zemke Fan”. Outnumbered and outgunned by four Wolfpack P-47s, it was only by his extraordinary skill and experience did Rall manage to escape disaster, losing his left thumb in the process._x000D_
The print has two penciled re-marques: The bottom left is Air Wing insignia of the 56th, 61st, 62nd and the 63rd. The right is ME109. In addition to the artist signature are the pilots Günther Rall - 'Gabby Gabreski - Robert Rankin-Mahurin-Thomton and Shaw. City: State: Date: 1900's
