Audet SPITFIRE - by Allan Botting
This Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IXe depicts Richard Audet from Lethbridge, Alberta, in action in Northern Europe. On December 29, 1944, Richard was leading a flight of 411 Squadron Spitfires and during this attack, his first opportunity to fire his guns in anger, he shot down five German fighters. Richard vaulted into the ranks of Canadas fighter aces in a single bold stroke. (Oil on Canvas)
