Messerschmitt Me262 Luftwaffe Film & Art Print
"Messerschmitt Me262 Luftwaffe Film"
Messerschmitt Me262 "The Official Luftwaffe Pilot Check-out Film". This Me262 film is narrated by Luftwaffe jet ace Oberleutnant Franz Stigler of JV-44 the mythical "Galland Zirkus" and of JG-27 of North Afrika fame. Over the course of the hostilities, Stigler flew over 500 combat missions, was shot down 17 times, had 28 confirmed kills to his credit including 11 four engine bombers plus over 30 other "probables".
This historic film footage was actually employed by the Luftwaffe to initiate their ace pilots to the Messerschmitt Me262 jet fighter. While some cuts from this film may have been previously seen, it is believed that this entire uncut version has not been viewed since April 1945 at the Lechfeld Luftwaffe 262 training base in Germany.
Experience your first solo flight in the legendary Me262 exactly as the new pilots of that era did. Learn how to start the turbines, inject fuel and ignite it. Understand your jet's revolution thresholds, landing gear and electrical systems. By the time you finish watching this rare piece of real history, you'll feel qualified enough for your first solo flight in the machine.

"Messerschmitt Me262 'White 3' JV44 Art Print"
This remarkable Metallic Foil Art Print (18" X 12") is of Oberleutnant Franz Stigler's Me262 coded "White 3" that he flew in the legendary JV44, otherwise known as the "Galland Zirkus".
The "Ace" himself, Oberleutnant Stigler JG27 & JV44 personally signed each of these impressive prints in a limited edition series of 425 and 50 Artist's Proofs.
Until now, the true story of "White 3" has never been fully told. We worked closely with Franz and four well-known Me262 experts to ensure the complete accuracy of "White 3" in these Art Prints. This is precisely how his aircraft looked in 1945, right down to the EZ42 gun sights, boot scratches at the cockpit and powder burns on the machine cannon muzzles.
The media is the revolutionary new digital process called Metallic Foil Art Prints. Trust me on this one, these prints are drop dead gorgeous. The Metallic Foil lends a luminescent quality to the image allowing it to appear to "float" above the media.
