Oil on canvas, 510 x 760 mm, signed ("N. Roe"), depicting a Felixstowe F.2A attacking German Zeppelin L.62, framed. Provenance: Butterfields, The Norm Flayderman Collection of Vintage Aviation Memorabilia, November 14, 2000, lot 4333, appears as catalog cover image. The Felixstowe F.2A flying boat came late in the war, but served a crucial role as a long-range anti-submarine, anti-zeppelin weapon. The above painting expertly depicts a noted engagement from May 10, 1918 when N 4291 ("Old Blackeye") from Killingholme, flown by Captains Thomas Cooper Pattinson and Albert H. Munday, took down German Zeppelin L 62 (LZ 107) in flames over the Heligoland minefields. The event is recounted in detail on p 193 of Joseph Morris's German Air Raids on Britain 1914-1918.
