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:
An observer/gunner is ready with the 'sting in the tail' of a Bristol fighter as the pilot tries to save a straggling De Havilland DH4 bomber from the attentions of an Albatros DV. The Bristols' squadron mates try to do the same for the main group of bombers which are under assault from Fokker Triplanes and more Albatros fighters.
