ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Story Behind the Print:

The Fieseler Fi 156 Storch rises from the grass field at Audembert, demonstrating the remarkable short takeoff performance that made the aircraft indispensable during the early years of the war. Positioned less than a mile from the English Channel near Calais, Audembert served as one of the Luftwaffe’s most forward fighter bases during the Battle of Britain. From this exposed coastal airstrip—lacking paved runways and reliant on favorable weather—units of Jagdgeschwader 26 “Schlageter” operated under the leadership of Adolf Galland as they prepared for sustained air operations over southern England.

Life at Audembert reflected the temporary and tactical nature of these forward airfields. Personnel worked and lived out of tents, trailers, and nearby villages, while fighter aircraft were concealed beneath trees or camouflaged netting to avoid aerial detection. Despite its austere conditions, the field played a vital role in supporting Luftwaffe sorties during the critical summer and autumn of 1940.

Within this environment, the Storch fulfilled a unique and essential function. Renowned for its extraordinary short takeoff and landing capability, the aircraft was used for reconnaissance, liaison duties, message transport, and the movement of personnel between dispersed units. The scene captures not only an aircraft in motion, but a moment rooted in the operational reality of one of the most strategically positioned airfields of the war.

This paper print does not include an authentic historical relic.
