The Guardian WWII multi signed print 38x30 inch overall mounted and framed Victory Remarque edition 8/15 signatures include 379th BG veteran Hugh McGinty, Luftwaffe Bf 109 pilot Gernot Heinrichsdorff, Pilots Clayton Nattier, Don Carlson, and Newt Moy, B-17 gunner Mitch Mischler plus two distinguished 8th Air Force signers from the Main Edition. The German fighter pilot was taking a great risk. He had seen the faces of the wounded crewmen and decided to spare the damaged B-17 and more-to escort the plane out of Germany. If a civilian or soldier on the ground reported him, the fighter pilot would face a firing squad. In the eyes of his country during war, he was a traitor. But to the defenceless American crew, he was their guardian. Now, they had hopes of reaching England again, thanks to the mysterious German ace who held his fire. One day, the crew would know his name-Franz Stigler. In 1990, they'd invite Franz to their bomb group reunion where they'd introduce their families to the man who gave them the greatest of gifts-the chance to live. Good Condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide. UK postage from £5.99, EU from £7.99, Rest of World from £9.99
