On October 27, 1918 Maj. William Barker, one of the
highest scoring Allied aces of WW1, took off from
Beugnatre on what would become one of the
controversial flights of the war. Flying a new type of
aircraft, the Sopwith Snipe, Barker crossed over
the lines in an attempt to score another victory
before returning to England. He found what he was
looking for near the town of Valenciennes, scoring
a high altitude victory over a two seat
reconnaissance aircraft high above the Mormal
Forest. In the process, however, Barker himself
was attacked from below by Fokker DVIIs from an
unknown German Jasta. Wounded and disoriented,
Barker lapsed in and out of consciousness as his
plane fell from the sky. As he fought for his life
among an unknown number of German aircraft he
even attempted to ram one of the Germans. In the
end, Barker managed to bring his Snipe down
inside of the Allied lines. William Barker was
awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions that day

Printed on acid free rag paper, the edition consists
of 200 prints, each of which is signed and
numbered by Russell Smith.
