"The Voss Finale"
18 inches X 28 inches. Signed and numbered, edition of 150
Giclee` reproductions, printed on canvas.
Werner Voss (1897-1917) was one of Manfred von
Richthofen's closest rivals as an air ace during the 1916-17
period, with 48 victories to his credit.
In September 1917, Voss was flying in his Fokker Triplane,
when a flight from No. 56 Squadron bounced him. In an epic
dogfight, Voss held his own against seven S.E.5's led by
James McCudden. All seven of the British pilots were aces, yet
Voss outflew them and filled every S.E.5 with lead. Finally, the
German received a telling blow from Lt. Rhys-Davids, and the
Fokker fell to the ground and exploded. Voss died before he
could celebrate his twenty-first birthday.
"I shall never forget my admiration for that German pilot, who
single handed, fought seven of us for ten minutes. I saw him
go into a fairly steep dive and so I continued to watch, and
then saw the triplane hit the ground and disappear into a
thousand fragments, for it seemed to me that it literally went
into powder."
-James McCudden
