The Second Commemorative Edition in ‘The Battle of Britain Trilogy’

Aircraft – Hurricane, Me109, Heinkel 111

Sunday 15th September 1940: a date that will live forever in Military History. The day the Luftwaffe made it’s final, massive effort to defeat the RAF, and pave the way for Hitler’s invasion of England. The day the tremendous air battles between the RAF and the Luftwaffe came to a climax – when every single man and machine in Fighter Command climbed into battle. The day Churchill was told: ‘There are no reserves!’
Robert Taylor’s outstanding painting puts us right into the midst of the Battle of Britain, some 12,000 feet above London, with the Hurricanes of 257 Squadron as they tear into a mass of Heinkel 111 Bombers and escorting Me109s. In the fore ground a hurricane pilot reefs his machine around having knocked out one of the enemy; his wingman targets another. In the background and below, the fighting is every where. The whole sky is embroiled in a mass of aerial warfare.
