The Battle for the Skies Over Dieppe,
19th August 1942 by Graeme Lothian
A large umbrella of Spitfire Wings
covered most of the sky over Dieppe during the Allied attack
"Operation Jubilee" on 19th August 1942. Squadron leader
Johnnie Johnson leads 610 (County of Chester) Squadron down from top
cover support to lend a hand to Spitfires of 485 Squadron (New Zealand)
and 411 Squadron (Canadian) which made up the 12 Group Wing, led by W/C
Pat Jameson. The enemy being made up of a huge mixed force of Fw190 and
Me109 fighters from JG2 and JG26. 12 Group Wing flew four times that
disastrous day and in the end the Royal Air Force lost 106 aircraft
compared to the Luftwaffe losses of 48.
Land, Sea and Air by Ivan Berryman Spitfire of 761 Training Squadron (attached to the Royal Navy) flies
over the Forth Railway Bridge on the eve of World War Two, also shown

The Hunting Party (Spitfires) by Ivan Berryman
Depicting Spitfires of No.92 Squadron, which on their first mission
over Dunkirk, encountered six ME109Es and succeeded in shooting down
every one of them! Such actions came to symbolise the spirit of the
92nd Squadron which went on to see intense fighting during the Battle
of Britain and by the end of 1940 had claimed an astonishing 127 enemy
aircraft destroyed. A dramatic and unusual perspective on this classic
aeroplane addition to any collection of Spitfire paintings.
The Thoroughbred (Spitfire) by Ivan Berryman
The Spitfire IV was the final mark of this British classic fighter,
a total of 5,665 machines were built.

The Thoroughbred by Ivan Berryman.

Moonlight Run (Dambusters) by Ivan Berryman.
In one of the finest portrayals of the Avro Lancaster, Moonlight Run depicts the aircraft of Fl. Lt. Mickey Martin (ED909 AJ-P) at the moment of release of the Wallace Bomb during the Dams raid on the Ruhr in 1943. With only the gentlest of moonlight rippling over the dark water of the Mohne, this dramatic picture plays homage to the impossible low altitudes and high speeds that were necessary to complete successfully their heroic mission. A stark and refreshing treatment of a subject at the hearts of all aviation historians.

Goner 78A - The Dambusters Raid by Tim Fisher.
The fourth attack on the Mohne Dam led by Sqd Ldr H M Young, piloting AJ-A (ED877/G) In the background to his starboard side is Flt Lt H B Martin, flying AJ-P (ED909/G) who was drawing fire away from the attacking aircraft by flashing his identification lights and turning on the spotlight altitude indicators. Wing Cdr G P Gibsons aircraft is out of sight, engaging enemy fire at the far side of the dam wall. The bomb was observed to make three good bounces and exploded on contact exactly as Barnes Wallis had planned, generating a vast column of water. Although it was not obvious at that instant, this was the attack which succeeded in breaching the dam. However, it was not until the next attack by Flt D J H Maltby that it was realised that the dam was crumbling. The code word sent out by Young signified; Goner (bomb released) 7 (exploded in contact with the dam) 8 (no apparent breach) A (Mohne dam) Youngs aircraft was lost with all lives on its return to Scampton possibly around 02.58 near Castricum-ann-Zee, north of Ijmuiden.

Target Y The Eder Dam Raid, The Ruhr Valley, 17th May 1942 by David Pentland.
At 0154am, Pilot officer Les Knight in Avro Lancaster AJ-N transmitted the codeword Dinghy, the signal that the Eder Dam had been successfully breached. Although the target was undefended by flak, its location made it extremely difficult to hit.

Shining the Way (Mosquito) by Ivan Berryman.
One of the artists most haunting paintings, a Mosquito B.IX of the Light Night Striking Force, PFF, banks away from the target zone having released a cluster of green Christmas tree marker flares to light the way for the second wave of approaching bombers. Frought with enormous difficulties and dangers, perhaps the most surprising aspect of the PFF is that it was made up almost entirely of volunteers and was widely regarded as the elite within Bomber Command. A fact made even more staggering by the slim chances of any aircrew completing the sixty sorties tour of operations that was asked of them. Nevertheless, the PFF was never short of volunteers and their dedication and courage is celebrated in this stunning print.

Fine Arts publish over 700 aviation art prints, these can be seen on our
new website: www.aviationartprints.com
Pattle's First Victory, 4th August 1940 by David Pentland
Gloster Gladiators flown by Flt. Lt. M.T. Pattle and Flying Officer
Johnny Lancaster surprise a flight of Breda 65's from 59A Squadriglia
over Bit Taob El Essem, North Africa. Pattle went on to be top
Commonwealth Air Ace of all time.
Night Reaper 4th May 1942 by David Pentland
Hawker Hurricane IIc of top Czech ace Flt. Lt. K.M. Kuttlewascher,
No.1 (Fighter) Squadron on a night intruder sortie from RAF Tangmere. On
this mission he destroyed three Heinkel III's over their own airfield,
St. Andre, in occupied France.
Can Openers by David Pentland Two Hawker Hurricanes ME11D tank busters of No.6 "Shiny
Six" Squadron about to attack retreating axis mechanised units,
November 1942 at El Alamein.
A Buzz for Beaumont by David Pentland
Wing Commander Roland Beaumont in his personal Tempest V, intercepted
and downed his first V1 "Buzzbomb" on the night of June 22nd,
1944, over south east England. As Commander of 150 wing and others he
went on to shoot down a total of 30 V1 flying bombs, 8 enemy aircraft
and 35 locomotives destroyed (plus one minesweeper sunk).
The Loch Ness Wellington by Ivan Berryman
R-Robert was dramatically retrieved after nearly forty years on the
bed of Loch Ness in Scotland. It is being restored at the Brooklands
Museum. The print is signed not only by the artists but also an original
designer of the original aircraft, a former pilot of R-Robert and three
other prominent personnel in the restoring of this Wellington.
Moonlight Run (Dambusters) by Ivan Berryman In one of the finest portrayals of the Avro Lancaster,
"Moonlight Run" depicts the aircraft of Fl. Lt.
"Mickey" Martin (ED909 AJ-P) at the moment of release of the
Wallace Bomb during the Dams raid on the Ruhr in 1943. With only the
gentlest of moonlight rippling over the dark water of the Mohne, this
dramatic picture plays homage to the impossible low altitudes and high
speeds that were necessary to complete successfully their heroic
mission. A stark and refreshing treatment of a subject at the hearts of
all aviation historians.
Chadwicks Masterpiece by Ivan Berryman When Roy Chadwick first drew the Avro 679 Manchester bomber for the
RAF, he could little have known that from this rather lacklustre machine
would evolve the classic 683 Lancaster. This painting is not a record
of any single event in the Lancaster's illustrious history, rather a
portrait of a fine aeroplane and a tribute to the many crews who flew
and serviced them.
Goner 78A - The Dambusters
Raid by Tim Fisher The fourth attack on the Mohne Dam led
by Sqd Ldr H M Young, piloting AJ-A (ED877/G). In the background to his
starboard side is Flt Lt H B Martin, flying AJ-P (ED909/G), who was
drawing fire away from the attacking aircraft by flashing his
identification lights and turning on the spotlight altitude indicators.
Wing Cdr G P Gibson's aircraft is out of sight, engaging enemy fire at
the far side of the dam wall. The bomb was observed to make three good
bounces and exploded on contact exactly as Barnes Wallis had planned,
generating a vast column of water. Although it was not obvious at that
instant, this was the attack which succeeded in breaching the dam.
However, it was not until the next attack by Flt D J H Maltby that it
was realised that the dam was crumbling. The code word sent out by Young
signified; Goner (bomb released) 7 (exploded in contact with the dam) 8
(no apparent breach) A (Mohne dam). Young's aircraft was lost with all
lives on its return to Scampton possibly around 02.58 near
Castricum-ann-Zee, north of Ijmuiden.
Target Y "The Eder Dam Raid",
The Rhur Valley, 17th May 1942 by David Pentland At 0154am, Pilot officer Les Knight in Avro Lancaster
AJ-N
transmitted the codeword "Dinghy", the signal that the Eder
Dam had been successfully breached. Although the target was undefended
by flak, its location made it extremely difficult to hit. In fact, four
of the five aircraft involved in the attack failed in their attempts and
Knights' was the last available aircraft carrying the last available
bomb!
Shining the Way (Mosquito) by Ivan Berryman
One of the artists most haunting paintings, a Mosquito B.IX of the
Light Night Striking Force, PFF, banks away from the target zone having
released a cluster of green "Christmas tree" marker flares
to light the way for the second wave of approaching bombers. Frought
with enormous difficulties and dangers, perhaps the most surprising
aspect of the PFF is that it was made up almost entirely of volunteers
and was widely regarded as the elite within Bomber Command. A fact made
even more staggering by the slim chances of any aircrew completing the
sixty sorties tour of operations that was asked of them. Nevertheless,
the PFF was never short of volunteers and their dedication and courage
is celebrated in this stunning print.
Lysander Pick Up by Graeme Lothian A Lysander of 161 Squadron from RAF Tempsford banks
to port as it circles a field somewhere in France 1943. These missions
only took place on or around the full moon period to pick up or drop off
SOE agents with the help of the Resistance. 161 Squadron, the most
secret of all RAF squadrons, had in its flight, Lysanders, Hudson's, and
Halifax's which carried out parachute operations. Two of 161's top
pilots Hugh Verity and Lewis Hodges both received the DSO & bar and
DFC & bar, and from France the Legion d'Honneur and the Croix de
Guerre.
Bowing Out (Shackleton) by Ivan Berryman The remarkable Avro Shackleton provided the RAF with stalwart service
for no less than 43 years. These charming giants lumbering into the
1990's and into the hearts of literally thousands of servicemen, ex-servicemen
and enthusiasts alike before finally signing off in July 1991. This
is AEW.2 WL757 "Brian" based at Lossiemouth. The last RAF
unit to operate the Shackleton before its replacement with the long
overdue Boeing Sentry AEW. An appealing and emotive painting of one
of British aviation's most charismatic aeroplanes.
A Nation Alone by Ivan Berryman. Dedicated to those who served and died in the Battle of
Britain on the ground and in the air during the summer of 1940.
6th June 1944 (Dakotas) by Ivan Berryman co-signed by a pilot of
271 Squadron As part of Operation Overlord in June 1944, it was necessary to deploy
large numbers of troops quickly and accurately to the fields and bridgeheads
of Northern France. No aircraft was better suited to dropping paratroopers
and their equipment than the ubiquitous Douglas Dakota, these examples

to enjoy one of the longest and most distinguished careers in aviation
history. Depicted here is an example of that variant employed by an
elementary and reserve flying training school during the early part
of World War Two.
Watching Station (Mustangs) by Ivan Berryman, the print is also
co-signed North American Mustang III's of No.315 Polish Squadron "deblinski"
are shown over the invasion fleet heading for the D-Day landings. |
