Helmut Wick was a daring fighter pilot for the Luftwaffe WWII. This painting was done by request of a friend. I decided on a low level engagement depicting the English countryside during the Battle of Britain. This painting was done in 2001.

For further reading on the interesting pilot, check out his wiki page.

Below are some real pictures of Helmut Wick, and my concept sketch.
