Anthony Saunders’ Berlin Boar Fight portrays the night of 23 August 1943, when RAF bombers attacked Berlin and Luftwaffe fighters attempted to intercept them in the darkness.
An Fw 190 from JG300’s “Wilde Sau” force is shown engaging Lancasters against the light of the burning city. Without airborne interception radar, the fighter pilot relied on visual contact while operating amid flak and the bomber stream.
The painting was created with the benefit of first-hand accounts from men who took part in the wartime air campaign.
Every edition is individually signed by Anthony Saunders together with RAF Bomber Command veterans Warrant Officer Reg White and Flight Lieutenant Eric Hookings, and Luftwaffe night-fighter veteran Oberleutnant Rolf Ebhardt.
