Description

It is August 1940. The Battle of Britain is at its height. Great armadas of Luftwaffe aircraft have made incessant attacks on southern Britain throughout the day. The unmistakable roar of the Merlin engines fills the fighter station once again, as the Hurricanes scramble into the air , It is their sixth operation sortie of the day. Totally outnumbered in each combat, they have taken losses, but they still have a squadron commander, enough pilots, and enough serviceable aircraft. Almost exhausted by the tension of continual combat since dawn, the young, battle-weary pilots roar off into the evening sky for a final duel of the day... The redoubtable Hawker Hurricane bore the brunt of the operational combat flying, accounting for no fewer than four fifths of air victories scored by British fighter pilots...Signed and numbered by the artist Robert Taylor and four of Churchills legendary few; Wing Commander Bob Doe DSO DFC , Wing Commander Bee Beamont DSO DFC , Air Commodore Pete Brothers CBE DSO DFC* and Air Vice Marshal Sir Denis Crowley Milling DSO DFC...priced @ £995.00 for this rare print which has been beautifully conservation framed...To complement the purchase of your fine art print, we are now able to offer a professional Picture Framing service.
