Original German WWII Luftwaffe Fuselage Piece from R.A.F. Downed He 111 - Battle of Britain

Original Item: One of a Kind. This is a fantastic piece of WWII History! The "Battle of Britain" was the period from July 1940 to June 1941 when Germany launched repeated air attacks against Britain. It was basically the Luftwaffe versus the Royal Air Force, with the goal of both destroying Britain's manufacturing capability, as well as their morale during the later attacks of "The Blitz". This is a very nice framed fragment of a downed Heinkel He-111 Bomber, with a full description of the history: This fragment of aircraft skin is from He-111H-2, V4+BV, Werk # 2720 from 5/Kg 1. On a mission to bomb Farnborough Airdrome, it was intercepted P/O E. J. Morris flying a Hurricane of the 79 Sqd of Biggin Hill on 8/30/40. A head-on attack by Morris and subsequent ramming severely damaged the Heinkel. It crashed near Swires Farm, Capel, Surrey. The Heinkel Crew consisted of Pilot Ofw. Waldemar Hornig (KIA), Observer Getr. Gunter Stahlberg (KIA), R.O. FW Dr. Karl Heimer (KIA), Flt. Engr. Hptm.
