Description

Seldom-seen large portrait of the WWI fighter pilot

German flying ace (1896-1941) whose 62 victories during WWI made him the country's second-highest scoring ace, outdone only by Manfred von Richthofen. Rare vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo of Udet by John LeRoy Johnston, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To John and Billy, with personal regards! Ernst Udet.” Reverse bears a Johnston photography stamp. In fine condition. Udet remains exceedingly rare in photos of this size, with the vast majority of signed photos no larger than a postcard.
