This is a print of a original painting in the Leach Corporation Heritage of the Air Collection, from 1962.

 The Recalcitrant Sausage, It reads "It was May 15 1918. Willy Coppens fired again and again at the gas bag. But instead of exploding, it shot up and collided with the Hanriot H.D.1 scout. Coppens cut his engine. The balloon sagged. When the Hanriot plunged over the side, Coppens opened the throttle and gunned for home. The balloon fell in flames and Belgium's greatest ace had his fourth kill. He would go on to get 33 more before war's end.   And by the way, Willy Coppens signed this!
