Specially commissioned to commemorate the 80th
Anniversary of the Royal Netherlands Navy Air Service
A
Dornier 24 flying boat of the Royal Netherlands Navy sights
the Japanese invasion fleet off Kuching, British Borneo, 23
December, 1941. By chance it also sighted patrolling Dutch
submarine K-X1V on the surface, unaware of the enemy
position. Receiving the pilot’s signal “enemy to the north
east”, the submarine quickly engaged, sinking two ships and
damaging two in one of the first Allied successes against
the Japanese in World War II.
A limited edition signed by Dutch
veterans of World War II. Each print is signed by 2
survivors of the flying boat’s aircrew plus 3 crew members
from submarine K-X1V. |
