BE2c British Nightfighter, 1916
|
OVERALL SIZE: 13"x19" IMAGE SIZE SLIGHTLY SMALLER everything from observation, light bombing, training to primitive night fighter. Too slow and stable to be much good as a day fighter, it excelled in the dark as a single seater Zeppelin hunter, being responsible for bringing down more than one of the giant German airships. The painting shows Lt. Frederick Sowrey of the Royal Flying Corps stalking a Zeppelin in September, 1916, near London. I had read first- hand accounts of the bright cherry-red glow of the engines as seen in the dark and the painting grew from that idea.
