The afternoon of 25th July 1940 was a desperate one for the already exhausted fighter pilots of the RAF defending the South coast of England. As convoy CW8 made its way through the English Channel, sixty JU.87 Stukas and forty JU.88 bombers launched a brutal attack on the ships below, backed up by fighter cover of over 50 Messerscmitt Bf.109s. Eight Spitfires of 64 Sqn (Kenley) were scrambled, together with twelve Spitfires of 54 Sqn (Hornchurch) and Hurricanes of 111 Sqn from Croydon. The British pilots found themselves massively outnumbered, but nevertheless put up a spirited fight against the teeming enemy. This painting shows Spitfires of 54 Sqn entering the fray, the pilots scattering as they choose their targets and go after the JU.87s. To the right of this, Bf.109Es of JG.26 are roaring in to join battle, whilst Adolf Galland's aircraft engages a Hurricane of 111 Sqn.

A Day for Heroes by Ivan Berryman. 		Flew with No.87 Sqn in France and in the Battle of Britain, earning the DFC for five victories. He commanded No.609 flying the Typhoon and later flew the Tempest. He destroyed 32 V-1 rockets in 1944, but was shot down and taken prisoner that October. He went on to be a noted test pilot, including on the Canberra. He died in 2001. <br><br><b>Please note that this particular signature has been written in pen - not in pencil like most of our signatures.</b><br>
