With its sleek, graceful design, instantly recognizable
by its thin, aerodynamically
advanced elliptical wings, the Supermarine Spitfire
was the creation of R. J. Mitchell,
an aeronautical creative genius. His fighter was to
become not only the most important
Allied aircraft of World War II, but the most famous
British fighter in history.
Gerald Coulson's majestic new painting captures a
pair of Spitfire Mk1s at dawn
high above the clouds over southern England in late
1940. An iconic tribute from
the artist to the greatest fighter aircraft of all
time.
Each print in Gerald Coulson's majestic tribute to
the Supermarine Spitfire has
been signed by three RAF fighter pilots who flew this
brilliant aircraft in combat
during World War II. All of the editions are also
signed by the artist, and hand
numbered.

Dambusters - The Morning After
Of the many thousands of heroic night raids accomplished
during RAF Bomber
Command?s long six year campaign, one, above all,
captured the imagination of
an admiring public. Gerald Coulson's new painting
shows a single Lancaster of
617 Squadron, one of the lucky ones having made it
safely back to base, proudly
standing alone as if in tribute to those that didn?t
return.
In tribute to the brave men who undertook the historic
Dams mission, each print
is authenticated by three veterans of 617 Squadron
from the night of 16/17 May 1943.
The 50 Artist Proofs are additionally signed by leading
international movie star
RICHARD TODD, who played the part of Wing Commander
Guy Gibson in the
classic 1955 film 'The Dam Busters'.

Mission by Moonlight
To commemorate this much-loved and incomparable aircraft,
Gerald Coulson’s
evocative painting depicts a Mosquito B Mk. XVI, a
high altitude bomber version,
on operations deep over occupied Europe. In this guise
the Mosquito was by far the
fastest piston-engine bomber of World War II, and
also the only light bomber
capable of delivering the devastating 4,000lb ‘block-buster’
bomb.

Moonlight
Flying secret agents in and out of occupied France,
transporting arms and radio
equipment to the Resistance, and collecting downed
airmen from behind enemy
lines, was one of the most hazardous flying operations
of World War II. These
cloak and dagger sorties, always conducted at night
by the light of the moon,
required a cool head and inordinate flying and navigational
skills – a duty
performed courageously by the pilots of RAF Special
Duty Squadrons. Due
to their clandestine nature, the true magnitude of
their operations only became
fully appreciated when the war was over.

First Light
In Gerald Coulson’s fine study
First Light, Mk Vb Spitfires of 92 Squadron climb
out of Biggin Hill at the outset
of an early morning patrol on a cold winter’s morning
in February 1941. Leaving the
mist behind as the first beams of light streak across
the heavens, they will turn
to the east and steel themselves to meet the enemy, high
in the dawn sky.
Each print is issued with a matching
numbered copy of Geoffrey Wellum’s top
selling and highly acclaimed
book ‘First Light’, which is presented in a unique
gold embossed slipcase.
