Book & Print Launch - Sunday 18th May

Duxford Airfield

"Special Op: Bomber"

 

 by Steve Darlow

"Special Op: Bomber" is an action-packed account of the battle in the skies over Europe, from the perspective of the men who undertook the highly dangerous job of flying the bombers. Throughout the unrelenting and destructive air campaign there were certain vital operations that required the airmen of the RAF and the USAAF to take their skills to new levels, and to display courage above and beyond the call of duty. "Special Op: Bomber" draws upon a wealth of these courageous veterans' stories, many of them previously unpublished. The vivid first-hand accounts convey the peril of Allied air combat in World War II with breathtaking immediacy.               

        

"Evasive Action"

by Steve Teasdale

This stunning new pencil print from renowned artist Steve Teasdale, captures in great detail the perilous moments after a Lancaster has dropped its bombs and the crew find themselves alone to fight their way back home across hostile territory, evading the probing searchlights and lethal flak bursts.
