Items in this pack : Item #1 - Click to view individual item DHM2711. Closing the Gap by Robert Taylor. 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, ready for yet another withering strike on the encircled Wehrmacht columns. This stunning 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. Signed by Squadron Leader Percival H. Beake DFC, Warrant Officer Jack Hodges DFC and Warrant Officer John Abe Lincoln. Signed limited edition of 350 prints. Paper size 35 inches x 25 inches (89cm x 64cm) Image size 28.5 inches x 17 inches (72cm x 43cm)
Item #2 - Click to view individual item B0370. Hard Hitter by Ivan Berryman. Whilst in command of 609 Sqn in January 1944, F/Lt (later Wing Commander) J R Baldwin, leading a small formation of Hawker Typhoon 1Bs, encountered thirty Focke-Wulf Fw190s and engaged them in a furious battle. Nine enemy aircraft were shot down in the action, Baldwin accounting for two of them himself. He went on to finish the war as the highest-scoring Typhoon pilot of all with 15 confirmed victories, one shared, one probable and four damaged. He is depicted here, flying DN360 with the codes PR-A. Only 300 available of the edition available signed by the artist only. Signed limited edition of 1150 prints. Image size 12 inches x 8 inches (31cm x 21cm)
Item #3 - Click to view individual item DHM2276. Normandy Sunrise by Gerald Coulson. Here, in the brightening morning sky, Typhoons are prepared for the first sortie of the day. One has already fired up its big, powerful engine, blowing up whirlwinds of Normandy dust, ground crew hover, ready to remove chocks prior to taxi and take-off. A second is readied, while the remainder of the squadron, widely dispersed around the temporary field, are about to set about their deadly missions of the day. Signed by Flight Lieutenant James Kyle DFM, Warrant Officer Douglas Oram and Flying Officer Frank Wheeler DFC (deceased). Limited edition of 300 prints, with three signatures. Image size 27 inches x 21 inches (69cm x 53cm)
Item #4 - Click to view individual item GC0316. Striking Back by Gerald Coulson. Conceived initially by Hawkers (of Hurricane fame) as a fast powerful fighter, the Typhoons performance in this role proved to be disappointing in the respect of rate of climb, and at height. They did however eventually come into their own as a superlative very fast ground attack aircraft, and combined with the skill of their pilots became one of the most potent weapons of World War Two. This painting conveys something of the drama of a pair of typhoons at take-off, each loaded with two 1000lb bombs. Normandy dust contributes to the backdrop. We have the last remaining 45 art prints in this sold out edition. Signed by Squadron Leader L F W Stark DFC* AFC C de G (Belg) (deceased) and Wing Commander Roland Bee Beamont CBE DSO DFC DL (deceased). Signed limited edition of 650 prints. Image size 23 inches x 18 inches (58cm x 43cm)

Signed limited edition of 1150 prints. Image size 12.5 inches x 8 inches (32cm x 20cm)
