Normandy Fighter Sweep by Nicolas Trudgian. Johnnie Johnson leads his Canadian Wing Spitfires over the Normandy beaches on D-Day, 1944. |
Dawn Till Dusk by Richard Taylor. Fighter Ace Johnnie Johnson leads MkIX Spitfires of his No.144 Canadian Wing back to their base at Ford after a long day of operations over Normandy shortly after D-Day. The wing flew constant fighter sweeps throughout the Normandy Invasions, before relocating to France on June 15th 1944. |
D-Day, A New Dawn for Europe by John Young. The ever-popular and ubiquitous Spitfire is shown landing somewhere in Europe, bearing its invasion strips on the fuselage and wings. D-Day most certainly did mark a new day for Europe, the sacrifices and suffering well documented as Allied troops fought to give Europe back to its rightful Governments. |
MkIX Spitfires, June 1944 by Barry Price. No text for this item |
D-Day Spitfire - Johnnie Johnson by Graeme Lothian. (P) WW2 Ace Johnnie Johnson in his Spitfire JE-J, shown with black and white D-Day invasion stripes. |
Normandy Veterans Association 60th Anniversary Limited Edition Print by Michael Turner. Official limited edition print of the 60th Anniversary of the Normandy Veterans Association. The Eastern Flank of the D-Day battlefield, 1300 hours, June 6th 1944. No single picture could possibly encompass the actions of all British forces on D-Day, let alone the Allies overall, whise front stretched 60 miles along the Normandy coastline. The eastern flank of the D-Day battlefield has been chosen to symbolise the achievements of British forces on June 6th 1944 because no other part of the invasion front illustrates better the combined efforts of all three services. |
Friendly Ordinance (Beer Run to Normandy) by Ronald Wong. As forward airfields were established in France after D-Day, replacement fighters being ferried to the front line from South Coast airfields were called upon to carry MoD XXX Depth Charges to support the ground troops. The XXX beer was great for troop morale. |
Deadly Chase by Ronald Wong. Shortly after D-Day the menace of the V-1 was revealed. Fighter pilots evolved a daring tactic to deal with these robot aircraft. Diving first to build up their speed to match that of the V-1, they would pull alongside and use the turbulent slipstream from their wing tips to topple the missile and cause it to crash relatively harmlessly in the fields of South East England. |
