STEINHOFF TRIBUTE
by Robert Taylor
Macky
Steinhoff in action over the White Cliffs of Dover. It is
August, and the height of the Battle of Britain: Heinkel 111
bombers have attacked airfields and radar stations along the
south coast, and a frantic dog-fight has developed as Me109s
of JG-52 clash with Hurricanes of the RAF's No. 32 Squadron.
Macky's Me109E, which dominates the picture, provides a magnificently
detailed study of this superlative fighter, as he and his
fellow Luftwaffe pilots do their best to protect the retreating
Heinkels. Below is a wonderful panoramic aerial view of Dover
Harbour, the legendary White Cliffs, and the carefully researched
landscape showing the south-eastern tip of the British Isles
as it was in 1940.
