Description

There can be few images of aircraft in flight that tug at the emotions more poignantly than the vision of a lone Spitfire, playfully dancing her tune in the ethereal world high among the clouds. In her element, in the hands of young, battle-hardened pilots, this nimble, beautiful little fighter, backbone of RAF Fighter Command throughout World War II, seemed to the enemy almost unconquerable. Loved by her pilots, feared by her opponents, this little thoroughbred became a legend that will live forever in the annuls of aviation history. Simon Atack's romantic study Into the Blue depicts a classic view of a Mk I Spitfire belonging to 609 Squadron, flown by Battle of Britain ace John Bisdee, high over South East England in that fateful summer of 1940. After the first fifteen months of the war this famous fighter squadron, initially made up of week-end flyers, became the first RAF squadron to claim 100 victories. Made up of pilots from so many nations, 609 Squadron was described as the most international brotherhood in arms since the Crusades.This evocative image, endorsed by Battle of Britain Spitfire pilots, pays tribute to all those who flew and fought this supreme little fighter in the hostile skies of war-torn Europe, so long ago...Each copy of Simon Atack's Limited Edition , Into the Blue , is signed by the artist and two Spitfire pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain : Squadron Leader Iain Hutchinson and Flight Lieutenant Richard L Jones this particular print has the additional signature's of 15 Royal Air Force Battle of Britain pilots , Bob Doe , Jocelyn Millard , Ken Wilkinson , Tony Pickering , John Freeborn , Tom Neil , David Dencthfield , Ken Lee , Ken Mackenzie , Pete Brothers , Wilf Sizer , Byron Duckenfield , Peter Ayerst , Basil Stapleton and Terence Kane....These signatures are very rare and now impossible to obtain...priced @ £195.00...To complement the purchase of your fine art print, we are now able to offer a professional Picture Framing service.
