THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN PORTFOLIO High Summer & Homeward Bound
by Anthony Saunders
This exciting pair of prints commemorating the Battle of Britain are available individually or as part of a matching-numbered pair.
HIGH SUMMER
This superb piece portrays Spitfires from 92 Squadron as they successfully engage Me109's over the harvested fields of southern England, in August 1940. The desperate action of aerial combat is beautifully captured in this compelling and accurate reconstruction of a famous fighter squadron at war.
Each print in all of the editions has been hand numbered and signed by the artists along with two distinguished Battle of Britain veterans:
- Flight Lieutenant Alexander Appleford
- Flight Lieutenant Trevor Gray
HOMEWARD BOUND
This compelling piece brings to life a typical cameo from those long and arduous aerial contests; a Me109 from JG-26 has taken a hit during the fighting, the engine is overheating, and beginning to trail smoke. But the Squadron Commander, the legendary Adolf Galland, closes in to escort the stricken fighter back across the Channel.
Each print in every edition has been hand numbered and signed by the artists along with two Luftwaffe Knight's Cross holders who fought in the Battle of Britain:
- Major Hans-Ekkehard Bob KC
- Generalleutnant Günther Rall KC with Oak Leaves and Swords
