The bowsprit

Every move was a rhythm of defence and attack

and by early 1944 more U-boats were being destroyed than Allied merchant ships were being sunk

Eye of the Sun by Robert Taylor. PER93 43rd Light InfantryDHM6482. Eye of the Sun by Robert Taylor. You can feel the tension in this evocative painting as Messerschmitt Bf109s from 7. JG2 Richthofen head out on a long range fighter patrol in September 1940. With the sun behind them they hope to launch a surprise attack on unsuspecting RAF aircraft, however these enemy raiders will soon be intercepted by some of Fighter Command's most determined 'defenders of the realm'.
