PATHWAY TO THE RUHR
With silver moonlight glinting on the wave tops below, Guy Gibson leads the first wave of Lancaster's low across the North Sea to avoid enemy detection, on the night of 16/17 May 1943. In formation with 'Mick' Martin on his port side and 'Hoppy' Hopgood to starboard, Gibson heads towards the Dutch Coast and the Ruhr valley beyond - their mission, the destruction of the Mőhne and Eder Dams.

PATTON\'S OWN
In his unmistakable style, internationally acclaimed military and aviation artist Richard Taylor has created this historic tribute to a name that has gone down in military folklore. He skilfully depicts a scene in late March 1945 as elements of Patton's Third Army rapidly advance having recently crossed the Rhine River at Oppenheim, south of Mainz. Patton's favoured strategy of speed and aggressive offensive action is clearly visible as fast-moving elements of the U.S. 6th Armoured Division launch a blistering attack on German infantry retreating east towards Frankfurt and ever deeper into the heartland of Hitler's failing Reich. One further nail had been embedded in the Nazi coffin.

PEGASUS DAWN
Simon Smith's masterful piece Pegasus Dawn portrays the scene a few days later at the Bénouville Bridge, later renamed 'Pegasus' after the British 6th Airborne's flying horse emblem. Now reinforced by other units, including commandos, the British are in full control of the area, allowing free movement over the canal and river. Overhead Mk.IX Spitfires from 340 (Free French) Squadron RAF, part of 145 Wing, Second Tactical Air Force, provide fighter cover across the area.
