Anthony Saunders -  D-DAY PORTFOLIO

Juno Beach

A pair of Limited Edition prints to commemorate the 65th Anniversary of the D-Day landings - June 1944.

As shells from the naval bombardment whistle overhead, and ground-fire crackles around them, a pair of Mk IXb Spitfires from 412 Canadian Squadron make a fast run over Juno Beach, in support of the Third Canadian Division storming ashore. Landing craft negotiate their way through choppy seas and mined beach obstacles to discharge men at the water's edge, ready to assault the high sea wall, as tanks begin to open fire on nearby enemy positions. By the end of the day more than 21,000 men had landed on Juno, the second most heavily defended of all the D-Day beaches, with the Canadians advancing further inland than any other Allied troops.

Bridge Busters

With orders to destroy, delay or disrupt enemy forces en-route to the Normandy battle area, P-47 Thunderbolts from the 78th Fighter Group launch a blistering high-speed, low-level attack, on a German freight train in occupied northern France, June 1944. Desperately attempting to transport vital supplies to the front by daylight, it has fallen prey to the cannons and bombs of the eagle-eyed Thunderbolt pilots. In the weeks following D-Day, the pilots of the 78th FG would fly almost continuous missions to seek out and eliminate any German vehicles, positions and forces they could find; and cause chaos and mayhem to the enemy's lines of communication ahead of the advancing Allied forces.
