At 10:30 on the morning of 26th May, 1941, a lone Catalina of 209 Squadron rediscovers the mighty German battleship Bismarck- pride of the Kriegsmarine- which had eluded the Royal Navy for more than 32 hours. Heavy flak surrounds the Catalina as she signals the position of the Bismarck- some 700 miles west of Brest- to the Admiralty. The following day, confronted by the Royal Navy battleships King George V and Rodney, supported by 2 cruisers, the Bismarck was sunk during one of the epic actions of modern naval warfare.

This is a limited edition print by Robert Taylor titled Sighting the Bismarck signed by Robert Taylor, Hans Hellwig, Karl-August Schuldt, Johannes Zimmermann, and Josef Statz. This fabulous print is in pristine condition and is as photographed. This is print 689/850.
