As Typhoon Mk1b fighter-bombers of 247 Squadron exit the target area near
Falaise at full throttle, the havoc wreaked in their wake bears witness to the
devastation of their powerful rockets. Fuel and ammunition from the retreating
German column explode with shattering detonations, the savagery of the attack
demoralising the enemy into stunned oblivion. The Typhoons will hurtle back to
base to re-arm and hastily re-fuel, for yet another withering strike on the
encircled Wehrmacht columns. This stunning new rendition from the the worlds premier aviation artist pays
tribute to the brave young RAF fighter pilots of the twenty squadrons of
rocket-firing Hawker Typhoons who flew those perilous ground attacks during the Battle
of Normandy. With each print in this new limited edition signed by pilots who
flew in the thick of the action of the air war on the Western Front,
knowledgeable collectors are given a rare opportunity to complete an important
section in their valuable print portfolios.
