THE WORLD’S PREMIER AVIATION ARTIST PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE F-4 PHANTOMS OF THE ISRAELI AIR FORCE
RECOUNTING AN ACTION DURING THE LARGEST JET-TO-JET BATTLE IN HISTORY - THE YOM KIPPUR WAR
Yom Kippur – the Day of Atonement – is the holiest day in the Hebrew calendar and in Israel is marked by a national holiday but on that day in 1973 the...
There are few truly defining moments in the history of a State - single episodes that touch every citizen, and cast a nation's future. Epoch-making events that influence the entire world are even more uncommon. The events that took place in the space of less than two hours on the morning of December 7, 1941 were of such defining importance, their memory is...
Released on the 100th Anniversary of the RAF as a tribute to all those who flew the Spitfire!
When the Luftwaffe unleashed the Fw190, the unsuspecting Spitfire pilots of RAF Fighter Command were at serious disadvantage – but it wasn’t for long!
Under clear skies, a light breeze from the south-west blew across the...
This extraordinarily evocative piece depicts Luftwaffe pilot Franz Stigler in his Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6 of JG27 alongside a badly damaged American B-17 Flying Fortress of the 379th BG.
The German fighter pilot saw the faces of the injured crewmen and decided to take a huge risk. Not only did he spare the damaged B-17, but he also escorted the wounded bomber out of Germany. If...
The main force has safely returned to base. Back on the airfield the ground crews scan the horizon, and listen for the unmistakeable sound of merlin engines, knowing one of their aircraft is missing. There is almost as much tension and apprehension on the airfield as there is on the flight deck of the missing Lancaster as it limps back across the North Sea.
Damaged by...
On 9 June 1943, three days before his 19th birthday, George H.W. Bush was commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Naval Reserve to make him one of the youngest aviators in US Naval history. Posted to the USS San Jacinto (CVL-30), a cruiser converted during construction into a small light carrier, George Bush flew his first combat mission in a raid over Wake Island on 23 May...
It was a simple plan with a single objective, yet impossibly difficult and fraught with danger at every step. Within four short months of the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor, the USS Hornet would sail to within range of the Japanese coast and launch sixteen heavily-laden B-25 bombers, never previously flown off the deck of a carrier, to make a daring strike against major Japanese cities....
On the day that the Hood was blown apart, everyone was shocked, not least the German sailors on board Bismarck and Prinz Eugen. But for one man – Winston Churchill - it was more than shock, it was an outrage. He issued three brief, immortal words – ‘Sink the Bismarck!’
Within forty-eight hours the Bismarck was under attack, not from battleships, but by 15 lumbering, obsolete Fairy...
Occupied by the Germans since 1940, the Norwegian fjords, with their narrow inlets and steep mountainous backdrops, offered unique protection; however submarines departing and returning to Norway from their oceanic operations immediately attracted the attention of RAF Coastal Command.
Heavily defended by shore batteries, Flak ships with terrible fire-power, and marauding Luftwaffe...
The mighty Lancaster, the mainstay of RAF Bomber Command, crewed by volunteers from Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Rhodesia, South Africa, and many other nations opposed to Nazi rule, flew day and night sorties whenever there was a chance of reaching the target. Their unflinching courage, and selfless devotion to duty paved the way for the D-Day invasion, and the ultimate...
