James Field's James and the Whale
A painting by my late father, James Field. He was an artist and illustrator with a passion for history. Below is the accompanying text he wrote at the time:
James McCudden made his fifth of fifty-seven confirmed claims on February 15th 1917 after bringing down a Roland CII Walfisch (whale) near Monchy while flying a DH2. Later that day McCudden’s C.O. led a flight of six aircraft to the wreck site and in turn each pilot fired three drums of Lewis machine gun ammunition into the remains of the Roland for gunnery practice.
