Description

''If you had the height, you controlled the battle. If you came out of the sun, the enemy could not see you. If you held your fire until you were very close, you seldom missed''. These three basic rules contibuted to the prowess in aerial combat of some of the most successful fighter pilots in history and seldom were they more valuable than when outnumbered.

In Robert Taylor’s outstanding new painting, Hurricanes of 32 Sqn climb high into the morning sky, gaining Height and Sun in an attempt to take the advantage over the onslaught of enemy fighters - August, 1940.

This superb new release from the master Aviation Artist features outstanding Battle of Britain signatures and is perfect for adding signatures at our many events. In particular the twenty five signature version represents outstanding value for money and gives you a great head start for creating a personal multi – signed copy.

These won’t be around for long so call now for availability.

(Due to the rarity of the signatures all editions are subject to availability)
