On December 20, 1943, Charles L. Brown, B-17 Pilot 379th BG, had received extensive damage to his aircraft, Ye Olde Pub. Franz Stigler, BF-109 Pilot, 6./JG-27, flew by the damaged craft and did not attack, claiming “I cannot kill these half-dead people. It would be like shooting a parachute,” but rather guided them to safety. Limited edition 17 x 11 print entitled ‘Brothers of Chivalry,’ numbered #13/400, signed in pencil, “Charles L. Brown” and “Franz Stigler.” Also signed in pencil by the artist, Kelli Spiller; a glossy 4 x 6 photo of Brown, signed in black felt tip and a satin-finish 4 x 7 photo of Stigler, also signed in black felt tip. All three are attached by their corner tips to a foam core backing to an overall size of 18 x 19.5. In fine condition.
