THE SUN SETS ON THE REICH by Stephen Brown (Oil on Canvas)

General Adolf Galland leads the Me262s of JV44 over the Austrian Alps in April of 1945.
JV44 was formed by the Luftwaffe early in 1945 in a last desperate attempt to stem the advance of the Allied forces.

Led by General Adolf Galland the unit flew the revolutionary new jet fighter, the Me262.
JV44 was dubbed the ‘Squadron of Experts’ because it consisted almost entirely of famous fighter aces from all fronts of the war.
