Description

A Stunning Tribute to the iconic Spitfire and the Pilots who flew it DAWN SORTIE By Gerald Coulson As dawn breaks a pair of Spitfire Mk1s fly high above the clouds over southern England in late 1940. With its sleek, graceful design, instantly recognizable by its thin, aerodynamically advanced elliptical wings, the Supermarine Spitfire was the creation of R. J. Mitchell, an aeronautical creative genius. His fighter was to become not only the most important Allied aircraft of World War II, but the most famous British fighter in history. Gerald Coulson was one of the world's foremost Aviation Artists in the history of the genre and this majestic painting pays tribute to this iconic aircraft and the pilots that flew it. THE SIGNATURES Every print in this edition has been signed by the artist along with three RAF fighter pilots who flew this brilliant aircraft during World War II. Flight Lieutenant ALAN DAVIS Squadron Leader GORDON HENDERSON DFC Flight Lieutenant KURT TAUSSIG This long sold out iconic piece isn't often available these days so this is a great opportunity for aviation art enthusiasts and autograph hunters alike to acquire a historic collectors item.
