Description: | image: a small sketch of a dogfight between four German and two British aircraft against a blue sky and stylised clouds, which includes handwritten notes below.
text: 'I want to give an idea of the jumble, the limitless space & at the same time the graceful & always balanced movement'.
context: 'The picture that I have got in mind to do first is of a dog fight in the air...The proportions and positions of the machines are everything, as you may imagine. I have got more of the space, speed and grace of the machines, which is what I want. When it is finished I will go on to the 'Archie-burst over the Alps', but just at present this other one claims all my thoughts.' Extract from a letter to Richard Carline, 27 June 1918.
