Last Dance of the Hussar by Russell Smith
Limited edition lithograph, 23.5" x 33.5"
Leutnant der Reserve Werner Voss, from Krefeld,
Germany, was Germany’s 4th highest ranking ace of
World War 1. With 48 kills to his credit he is still
considered by many to be the greatest pilot of that war,
having skills that even surpassed Manfred von
Richthofen, the “Red Baron”. On September 23, 1917 he
became involved in what is known to be one of the
greatest dogfights of World War 1. While out on patrol he
came across a flight of six British SE5’s from 56
Squadron, each flown by a famous ace. For over ten
minutes Voss singlehandedly fought the aces without
retreating. He inflicted considerable damage on all five
aircraft before his own engine finally seized and he was
sent plummeting to the ground by Lt. Arthur Rhys-
Davids. Major James McCudden, who was also involved
in the fight, said of him later, “His flying was wonderful,
his courage magnificent and in my own opinion he is the
bravest German airman whom it has been my privilege to
see fight.” Leutnant Werner Voss was just 20 years old.
Printed on 100# acid free stock, the edition consists of
560 prints plus 56 Artists Proofs. Each print is
individually signed and numbered by Russell Smith
