If you had the height, you controlled the battle. If you came out of the sun, the enemy could not see you. Your fire until you were very close, you seldom missed. These three basic rules contributed to the prowess in serial combat of some of the most successful fighter pilots in history. And seldom were they more valuable than when outnumbered.

In Robert Taylor's painting, Hurricanes of 32 Squadron climb high into the morning sky, gaining Height and Sun in an attempt to take. The advantage over the onslaught of enemy fighters - August 1940. Featuring a typical "Robert Taylor skyscape" this image captures. The surreal calmness above the clouds, belying the fury of action and ultimate sacrifices made in those crisp blue skies.

The edition is personally authenticated by aircrew that fought in combat during the Battle of Britain and as we are sure you are. Aware, an edition with this many signatures is becoming almost impossible to replicate.
