THOSE VALIANT FEW - Framed Collectors Piece
by Robert Taylor
'Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few'
Prime Minister Winston Churchill, 20th August 1940
The Battle of Britain is remembered as one of the greatest aerial conflicts in aviation history. Despite being fiercely outnumbered, the valiant young pilots of RAF Fighter Command duelled with the cream of Goering's Luftwaffe over the skies of southern England. By the end of September the battle was won; but many had made the ultimate sacrifice.
Signed over many years and officially published in 2008 as a tribute to all those who flew during the battle, this outstanding print edition sold out immediately and has since become extremely hot property on the secondary market - the last time we were able to offer one for sale was early 2022!
Our expert framing team have mounted this special copy to full conservation standards to create a completely unique collector's piece, by including photographs and the original autographs of three of the most famous leaders of RAF Fighter Command AND the Prime Minister himself, Sir Winston Churchill!
