Here is a newly released print, again by Ivan Berryman. Part of his ongoing WW1 Aces series depicting the aircraft of many of the most famous and not so famous aviators of the first world war, this print features the aircraft of Lanoe G Hawker.

Major Lanoe G Hawkers Bristol Scout C 1611, the No 6 Sqn aircraft in which he shot down two enemy planes on 25th July, 1915, and sufficiently damaged a third enemy aircraft to force it to the ground. He is shown here in combat with an Albatross C.III - soon to fall as one of his victims that day. Lanoe G Hawker earned the first aerial Victoria Cross (VC) of the war for this action, but was killed in November 1916, after a lengthy battle with the infamous Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen, becoming his 11th victim.
