He was captured, but escaped and fought with a Russian tank unit to the battle of Wittenberg on the Elbe.<b><p>Signed by Flt Lt Joseph Peterburs. <p>Limited edition of 30 giclee art prints.  <p> Image size 12 inches x 8 inches (31cm x 21cm)
B0443. Wounded Swallow by Ivan Berryman. <p> Walter Schuck was already credited with 198 victories before he converted to the revolutionary Me.262 Schwalbe (Swallow), an aircraft which he quickly mastered, scoring a further 8 kills in quick succession.  On the 10th of April 1945, however, Schuck himself became the victim, shot down by P51 Mustang of American Joe Peterburs.  The German ace survived by bailing out of his stricken jet, but badly injured both ankles on landing, the war ending before he was able to return to flying duties. <b><p>Signed by Oberleutnant Walter Schuck (deceased)<br>and<br>Flt Lt Joseph Peterburs. <p>Limited edition of 30 giclee art prints.  <p> Image size 12 inches x 8 inches (31cm x 21cm)
