Description
William S. Phillips - Low Pass For The Home Folks - Hand Signedsize: 28"w X 16"h. Limited Edition Of: 150 - On A Trip To Garmisch, Germany, Bill Phillips And His Wife Kristi Discovered A War Memorial On A Hillside. Surrounding The Monument Were Framed Photographs Of Local Young Men Who Had Been Killed In World War Ii. Bill Was Particularly Moved By One Photograph Of A Fresh-faced Boy, His Arms Around A Cow: “this Was No Jack-booted Nazi. This Was A Farm Kid Who Loved His Home And Went Off To Fight For It, Just As American Boys Had Done.” The Boy’s Story Began To Develop In Bill’s Imagination: The Young German Had Gone Into The Luftwaffe And Learned To Fly Fighter Jets. One Day, Early In The War, The Boy And A Friend Had Buzzed The Home Valley In Their Bf-109s. “i Guess All Pilots Have Done That, In Every Country,” Says Bill. “the Pride Of Flight Is Universal.” Bill Checked With A German Pilot, Who Said The Practice Was Strictly Verboten — ". . . But Of Course We Did It.”
