RETURN OF THE FEW - BATTLE OF BRITAIN PORTFOLIO
A loose formation of Spitfires from 92 Squadron head back to their base after a successful sortie over northern France. As the fighters approach the indomitable white cliffs near Dover, the pilots have decided to make a protective low-pass over a group of Royal Navy armed steam trawlers buffeting up the Channel, operating in their new-found role of inshore coastal patrol. The trawlermen acknowledge their RAF comrades with a friendly wave

RETURN OF THE HUNTERS - A D-DAY PORTFOLIO
As men and materiel pour ashore from the recently installed, prefabricated 'Mulberry Harbour A'
at Omaha Beach, a pair of RAF Mk 1b Typhoons from 245 Squadron race back towards their
base at Holmesley South in Hampshire, to re-fuel and re-arm. The Typhoon pilots have
just delivered a devastating rocket attack on German positions behind the Normandy
beachhead. A few days later a violent storm would devastate the harbour below.

RETURN OF THE PATHFINDERS
Anthony Saunders' atmospheric painting Return of the Pathfinders depicts the Pathfinder Mosquitos of 139 (Jamaica) Squadron, a unit that had joined Bomber Command's No 8 (Pathfinder) Group in July 1943. Anthony skilfully conjures up the mood as dawn breaks over a crisp, icy landscape in a burst of colour that illuminates the Mosquitos as they follow the course of the River Great Ouse on their return to RAF Upwood after a long overnight trip to Germany in early 1944. During a period that began on the night of 20 / 21st February 1944 this particular squadron undertook a series of 36 consecutive night attacks on Berlin.

RETURN TO EAST KIRKBY
The air resonates to the unmistakable sound of Merlin engines as Lancasters from 630 and 57 Squadrons skim low over the Lincolnshire countryside whilst returning to their base at East Kirkby, in the summer of 1944.
RAF East Kirkby was home to Lancasters of 630 and 57 Squadrons who often flew together on long-range bombing raids including attacks against Berlin and Hitler's alpine home at Berchtesgaden. It is of great historical importance that every print has been personally signed by one of the last surviving veterans based at RAF East Kirkby during WWII.

Anthony's work is now available as a limited edition print and we're sure that this moving tribute piece will be of great interest to all collectors with a passion for the U.S. Eighth Air Force. Adding historical significance, part of the edition also includes the original signature of a highly regarded Navigator who flew with the 381st from Ridgewell as depicted in Anthony's piece.
