 Immelmanns Last Flight by Ivan Berryman.

The popular belief is that his interrupter gear malfunctioned, causing him to shoot away part of his own propeller, but British reports attribute Immelmanns loss to the gunnery of Cpl J H Waller from the nose of FE.2b 6346 flown by 2Lt G R McCubbin on Sunday, 18th June 1916.

With our backs to the wall, and believing in the justice of our cause, each one of us must fight on to the end… This painting was Robert Gibb's final battle scene painted after the War and towards the end of his life.
