The High Tide of Summer by Jim Laurier at Ozark Airfield Artworks

In southern Russia, the vast, gently rolling plains of the Ukraine
seemed to strech on forever. Many German Aces were made on the
Eastern Front, such as Günther Rall, one of the Luftwaffe's top
guns. A captain in JG 52, Rall flew Messerschmitt 109's against the
best pilots and planes Russia had to offer. He is depicted in this
painting climbing into his Me-109 G3, "Black 13", for a sortie over
the plains. His "schwarzmen" are standing by to lend a hand and
see him on his way. It is late in the summer of 1942 when the
Luftwaffe was still enjoying numerous victories. Shortly thereafter,
the U.S. became the major contender in the War for Europe, and
the Germans had to fight on two fronts against ever increasing
numbers of Allied fighters and bombers. Thus ended their " high
tide of summer". Günther Rall finished the war with 275 aerial
victories, the third highest ranking Ace in history. The painting is
signed by General Rall and he has commented on several
occasions that he really enjoys this piece of art.
