THOSE VALIANT FEW - Framed Collectors Piece
by Robert Taylor
The Battle of Britain is remembered as one of the greatest aerial conflicts in aviation history. Despite being fiercely outnumbered, the valiant young pilots of RAF Fighter Command duelled with the cream of Goering's Luftwaffe over the skies of southern England. By the end of September the battle was won; but many had made the ultimate sacrifice.
Released in 2008 as a tribute to all those who flew during the battle, this outstanding edition sold out immediately and has since become extremely hot property on the secondary market.
Completing the portfolio is a special copy of the commemorative book THEIR FINEST HOUR which was personally autographed at the Gallery by one of the last surviving Battle of Britain pilots.
It also includes an exclusive bookplate signed by a famous Hurricane pilot who became an Ace during the battle, and is presented in a luxury-embossed slipcase.
