Description
During the Battle of Britain, German pilots began to suffer increasingly from what became known as Kanalkrankheit or "Channel sickness": operating at the limit of their fuel range in England meant that if they were shot down over land they would be captured and over the water they were in danger of drowning. In this Flight Artworks depiction of a scene from the summer of 1940, a Hawker Hurricane fighter from 11 Group of RAF Fighter Command has shot down a Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Bf 109E: its pilot, descending by parachute, is going into the sea.
