Comes with the Companion Print Typhoons Over Normandy.
Hawker Typhoons of 609 Squadron, 2nd TAF at a temporary airfield in Northern Europe, December 1944.
From D-Day onwards, as the Allies marched relentlessly eastwards, the squadrons of the 2nd TAF moved with them, hopping from one temporary airfield to the next, always as close to the front line as possible. The robust Typhoons and Tempests of the RAF were ideally suited to the hazardous ground attack role that was so vital in paving the way for troop and armour advances. The winter of 1944-45 was severe and tested aircraft and ground crew to their limits.
Companion Print - RAF Hawker Typhoon Mk IBs of 609 Squadron on a ground attack mission over Northern France.
Below them the late afternoon sun bathes Mont-St-Michael at low tide. The leader and his wingman have spotted a potential target and are descending low and fast for a better look. In the distance two more 609 Typhoons will hold station and watch out for an ambush by enemy aircraft.
Each print in Stephen Brown's Limited Edition, Winter on the Front Line (Artist Proof), is signed by distinguished Typhoon pilot Flying Officer Frank Wheeler DFC.
