WW2 U-Boat Signed Prints by Robert Taylor and John Wynne Hopkins. Naval Print Pack. Items in this pack : Item #1 - Click to view individual item DHM2119. Against All Odds by Robert Taylor. Robert Taylors painting protrays the renowned defiance of the U-Boat crews. Caught on the surface by a PBY Catalina the gun crews of a type VIIc U-Boat are quickly into action. The 3.7cm anti-aircraft gun is hurriedly reloaded while on the upper platform the two 2cm anti-aircraft twins take chunks out of the Catalinas tail - enough damage to secure a respite from the attack. Soon they will dive to relative safety beneath the Atlantic swell. Just one print remains of this edition - now sold out at the publisher. Our print has damage to the border area, but this does not affect the image or the print once framed. Signed by Kapitanleutnant Karl-August Landfermann (deceased), Oberbootsmannsmaat Rudolf Muhlbauer (deceased), Kapitanleutnant Heinrich Schroeteler (deceased) and Korveitenkapitan Helmut Witte (deceased). Signed limited edition of 450 prints (numbered 251 - 700 of 700) Paper size 32 inches x 24 inches (81cm x 61cm) Item #2 - Click to view individual item DHM849B. Catalina Attack by John Wynne Hopkins. D for Donald of 270 squadron, Royal Air Force, out of Freetown, West Africa operating in the Atlantic Ocean. It was during routine operation search that D for Donald surprised U515 on the surface and immediately attacked the submarine. U515 in putting up stiff resistance blew a large hole in the hull of D for Donald and the magazine of the starboard side 0.5 twin Browning was hit and the subsequent shrapnel wounded both blister gunners. U515 escaped but was sunk by an American naval hunter group a year later. D for Donald limped back to base and managed to make the beach before it would sink completely.
