LONGEST SUMMER
The book and print portfolio
Harvesting is briefly interrupted as Mk.I Spitfires of 609 Squadron pass low overhead. The young pilots return to 10 Group Sector Station at Middle Wallop after successfully engaging Luftwaffe raiders attacking naval facilities on the south coast, August 1940.
This prestigious limited edition portfolio, specially issued to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain, includes an individually numbered limited first edition copy of the book THEIR FINEST HOUR.
Presented in its own luxury embossed slipcase, each book is accompanied by a matching-numbered copy of the limited edition print Longest Summer.

LOW PASS OVER THE MÖHNE DAM
Guy Gibson under fire from the defending garrison, powers his Lancaster AJ-G at full throttle over the dam to confirm the extent of the successful breach. Below him, and clearly visible, the bright moonlight reveals the huge rupture in the dam's massive wall as the swirling avalanche of water surges into the valley below. With the subsequent destruction of the Eder Dam, and the damage to the Sorpe Dam, the men of 617 Squadron had achieved what they were asked, and more.

MALTA - THE TURNING POINT
Already noted as one of the most gifted aviation artists of his generation, Anthony Saunders depicts a glimpse of events that day in this eye-catching piece. In the foreground Sergeant Paul Brennan of 249 Squadron destroys a Ju87 in some of the fighting over Grand Harbour, Valetta whilst in the background the island's anti-aircraft guns, boosted by a recent and much needed supply of ammunition, put up a huge barrage of flak.

MIDWAY - THE ATTACK ON THE SORYU
BD pilots pull out of their death-defying dives having delivered their 1000lb bombs perfectly on target with three direct hits. Already there is utter chaos aboard the Sôryû as exploding ammunition and igniting fuel erupt onto the flight deck from the hangars below. Secondary explosions rip through the ship, fires rage beyond control and her hull shudders to contain the violent inferno. The Sôryû is doomed.
