Against the Tide, by Stan Stokes

Against the Tide: A Massive Tide of German armor and aerial might crashed across Europe in May of 1941. By June the battered French Army was falling back toward Paris, and units of the Armee de l'Air stuck back at the invaders with great courage in a vain attempt to save their beloved capital city. In this painting, French-built aircraft from two generations head for the front. The Detwoine D.520 fighter was the best French built fighter of WW II. This is the plane flown by Pierre Le Gloan who would down 11 German aircraft during the short battle of France. The Bloch MB 210 bomber was available in large numbers, but was obsolete. The Breguet Bre.693 assault aircraft, on the other hand, was very capable 1940's era aircraft. (11.5 x 16) $40
