Philip-West-On a Wing and a Prayer, Fairy Swordfish

 

The venerable Fairy Swordfish was the Fleet Air Arms premier torpedo-bomber at the outbreak of World War 11. It may have looked archaic in appearance, but its courageous crews proved time and time again that it was a potent fighting machine. 'Stringbags' as they were affectionately known, served in several important roles and theatres including Coastal Command, the Mediterranean and flying from MAC-ships protecting North Atlantic and Arctic convoys.

Primary Edition signed by Stanley Brand, former Swordfish pilot.
Artist Proofs are also signed by John Moffat, Swordfish pilot who attacked and help sink the German battleship “Bismarck”.
