SIGHTING THE BISMARCK (Secondary Market Copy)
by Robert Taylor

At 10.30 on the morning of 26th May, 1941, a lone Catalina of 209 Squadron rediscovers the mighty German battleship Bismarck – pride of the Kriegsmarine – which had eluded the Royal Navy for more than 32 hours. Heavy flak surrounds the Catalina as she signals the position of the Bismarck – some 700 miles west of Brest – to the Admiralty. The following day, confronted by the Royal Navy battleships King George V and Rodney, supported by 2 cruisers, the Bismarck was sunk during one of the epic actions of modern naval warfare.

Overall print size: 32″ x 23″

Each print is signed by FOUR of the small band of only 110 crew members who survived the sinking of the Bismarck.
