Description

A rare Limited Edition originally commissioned to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Supermarine Spitfire and signed by four distinguished WWII fighter pilots : Alan Deere, Johnnie Johnson, Bob Stanford-Tuck and Peter Townsend. Six Spitfire's pass once again over the English coastline en route back to base. To Spitfire pilots at the time, that strip of humble beach and the welcome sight of the familiar Steam Drifters in their new found role patrolling the coast, signified a great deal: the completion of another sortie, one step closer to their ultimate domination of the skies and, with any luck, time for a brief rest before the next call to action. This print carries the signatures of four very distinguished fighter pilots: Johnnie Johnson, the Allies' top scoring fighter ace. Al Deere , top scoring New Zealand ace and pilot of the very first Spitfire to engage an Me109 in combat , Peter Townsend the popular Battle of Britain Squadron Commander and Bob Stanford Tuck - one of the most outstanding fighter aces of WWII...priced @ £795.00...To complement the purchase of your fine art print, we are now able to offer a professional Picture Framing service.
