THE EAGLES DIVIDE
Prints in this highly-restricted edition are autographed by distinguished USAAF and Luftwaffe veterans who flew in combat during these close encounters over Europe during World War Two. Adding great historical importance, each signatory reached Ace status and together they clocked up many thousands of hours flying in combat during the war, representing both sides of this dramatic period of aerial conflict.

SPITFIRE SCRAMBLE
Richard's exquisite cameo Spitfire Scramble depicts a typical daily scene at Westhampnett as Flight Lieutenant 'Mickey' Mount, flight commander with 602 Squadron, leads the final section of Spitfires away from the base in a frantic scramble to intercept another large Luftwaffe force heading towards the Royal Navy's main base at Portsmouth and radar stations on the Isle of Wight in August 1940.

TESTING TIMES
Keith, who joined the Military Gallery in 2020, is currently illustrating the Ladybird Expert History series of the Second World War written by leading historian James Holland. His graphic portrayal, Testing Times, depicts Sergeant Don Kingaby carrying out last minute checks on his Mk.I Spitfire at the height of the Battle of Britain.

CHANNEL STORM
Anthony's atmospheric painting depicts a definitive moment in late August 1940 as the Mk.I Spitfires of 610 Squadron, one of the units to bear the full brunt of the Luftwaffe's attacks, scramble away from their base at Biggin Hill towards the Channel where yet another incoming Luftwaffe formation has been spotted. Combining great skill with thoughtful insight, Anthony beautifully portrays the elegant fighters, glinting in sunlight, racing towards the storm clouds gathering on the horizon. The peaceful harvest taking place in the fields below is in stark contrast to the perils that lie ahead.

SAFE RETURN
In recognition of the Wellington's place in aviation history artist Anthony Saunders has chosen to depict an aircraft from 99 Squadron, the first squadron to be equipped with the type, as the subject of his detailed painting aptly named Safe Return. It portrays a scene that occurred at dawn on 29 February 1940 when one of the squadron's bombers with Pilot Officer Reginald Williams at the controls lost power to its port engine whilst heading out over the North Sea. Aborting his mission and low on power, Williams struggles to gain height in order to clear approaching cliffs. Thankfully he succeeded, managing to coax his damaged bomber back to base.

CHANNEL SWEEP
Robert Taylor's stunning painting Channel Sweep depicts a scene in August 1941 with a section of Mk.Vb Spitfires from 452 Squadron, led by top Irish Ace Flight Lieutenant Brendan 'Paddy' Finucane DFC, as they head out over the Kent coast on an offensive patrol across the English Channel. With all the hallmarks of a classic Taylor masterpiece, this stunning edition also carries the original signature of one of the RAF's most successful and high-scoring Aces, who flew Spitfires with the Biggin Hill Wing during this period.
