Tally Ho! by Thomas Gower.		 Posted to 64 Squadron on 1st July 1940, the tragically short relationship of Sub Lt F Dawson Paul with the Spitfire was crammed with victories. He immediately shared a Dornier Do17 off Beachy Head and, just four days later claimed a Messerschmitt Bf.109. Further kills were confirmed over the next two weeks, among them five Bf.110s and another Do.17. His final victory was a Bf.109 on 25th, but on this day he fell to the guns of the German ace Adolf Galland. Dawson Paul was rescued from the English Channel by a German E-boat, but died of his wounds five days later as a prisoner of war.

The Longest July by Ivan Berryman. 		No 611 Squadron was one of the earliest to receive the Spitfire Mk IX, the first aircraft in the RAFs inventory that could take on Germanys mighty Focke-Wulf 190 on equal terms. OC of 611 Sqn in February 1942 was Sqn Ldr Hugo Armstrong, shown here flying BS435, FY-F.

Lone Patrol by Ivan Berryman 		Allied fighters encountering Focke-Wulfs potent Fw190 were to find themselves alarmingly outclassed when first the Luftwaffes new fighter appeared in the skies above France in 1941. Even the Spitfire MkV struggled to match the Butcher Birds outstanding performance. However, the inception of the Spitfire MkIX was to rapidly redress the balance and represented, in many ways, the coming of age for this classic British fighter, final production of this mark alone totalling 5665 machines.

The Thoroughbred by Ivan Berryman.
