Artist Credit: Dux Screen shot

Background:Robert Tuck picked up Hornchurch control and followed their directions… Soon he could distinguish 109’s, Hurris, Spits, 110’s and a few Ju-88… It was the biggest fight he’d seen yet, an awe-inspiring spectacle that made his throat tighten and produced an odd, damp feeling at the temples and wrists. Then suddenly, far below him two Ju-88’s passed very close together, striking out for home at sea level. He turned out from the land, away from the main scrap and with a long , shallow dive got well ahead of them. Then he turned again, due west, dropped low over the water and made a head on attack. - Fly For Your Life, by Larry Forrester. The story of the great air ace, Robert Stanford Tuck. This is a late Spring 1942 event.
