FIRST FLAP OF THE DAY

H. M. Stephen - one of the Battle of Britain's top scoring fighter pilots, brings down two Me109s in quick succession over the White Cliffs of Dover, early on August 11, 1940. Flying a Spitfire with 74 Squadron, Stephen shot down five German aircraft on this day, and damaged a further three. The note in his log book starts "First flap of the day at 0600 hrs ..."

Prints signed by Wing Commander H. M. Stephen, and Wing Commander JOHN FREEBORN who flew more operational hours during the Battle of Britain than any other RAF pilot.
