Fairey Firefly, Naval aviation art prints of the Fairey Firefly in original naval aviation art print by Ivan Berryman HMS Theseus by Ivan Berryman

The Fairey Fireflywas a aircraft carrier borne fighter aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm   It was superior in performance and firepower to the Fulmer its predecessor, but did not enter operational service until towards the end of the war. The primary variant of the Fairy Firefly used during World war two was the Mk I, which was used in all theatres .  The first Firefly Mk Is was delivered  in March 1943 but they did not enter operational service until July 1944  with 1770 Squadron on HMS Indefatigable. Its first operations were in Europe where Fireflies made armed reconnaissance and anti-shipping strikes  along the Norwegian coast.  And in 1944 Fireflies also provided air cover during strikes on the Tirpitz

 The Firefly was used in many roles from fighter and also in anti submarine warfare and mainly used in the Pacific and Far East. Fireflies carried out attacks on oil refineries and  was the first British-designed and -built aircraft to over fly Tokyo.  , the Firefly remained in service after the war in the UK, and also in Canada, Australia, Denmark and the Netherlands  British and Australian Fireflies carried out anti-shipping patrols and ground strikes off various aircraft carriers during the Korean War and also in ground attack roles during the Malaysian campaign.   It remained a mainstay of the FAA until the mid-1950s when its role was taken by the Gannet

Ivan Berryman - Battle of Britain Art

Artist Ivan Berryman has been producing many pencil drawings depicting scenes from the Battle of Britain. Each of these is signed by one of the pilots who was actually present at the battle, and is often inspired by the events they took part in themselves. Special signed print editions have also been created from existing full colour print editions, with some featuring multiple pilot signatures. You can find all of Ivan's Battle of Britain artwork on his website - www.ivanberryman.com, or see a full list of pencil drawings - updated regularly, in our dedicated section of pencil drawings.

When you go to a product page for an item in our shop, click on the names of the pilots where they are linked in the text for an item to see a profile page for that pilot. Often we include photos of signing sessions along with details of their flying career, and a full list of all items signed by the pilot.

Pilot Signed Battle of Britain Prints and Original Pencil Drawings

Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain

We are busy building up a portfolio of many many original pencil drawings which depict events from the Battle of Britain, the famous air battle won by 'the Few' in the summer of 1940. The British and Commonwealth pilots defended the air above Britain and the surrounding seaways from the might of the German Luftwaffe. Greatly outnumbered, the bravery of these young pilots saved the country from invasion, and let Britain survive to go on to defeat Germany. Without that first crucial victory, the outcome of the war could have been so very different. We have been busy arranging signing sessions with the few pilots who fought in that great battle who remain with us to this day. Our newly commissioned pencil drawings are often based on the descriptions of the battle by these great men, and are authenticated by their signatures. We have also had several editions of existing prints signed in full, or have signatures added to parts of existing editions. We have also incoporated signatures of some of the German pilots who also took part in the battle, some of whom went on to become top scoring aces of the war. See our Original Pencil Drawings Section - particularly the section of artists David Pentland and Ivan Berryman. Also, see our New Signature Editions section to see all of our newly signed editions.
