Classic aviation art and appropriate replica ceremonial gallantry medals together with all-metal pilot’s wings mounted in laser cut museum-quality art board, complete the unique presentation.

"Contest Over The Reich"

In 1940 Don Kingaby shot down four Me109 Luftwaffe fighters in a single day during the Battle of Britain, the British Press
dubbing him “Mr Me109”. He continued to fly Spitfires almost throughout WWII, led the Hornchurch Wing in 1943, flew low-
level support over the Normandy beaches, and became one of the RAF’s most highly decorated fighter pilots of the war.

Representing the Luftwaffe in this stunning Ensemble is the highly decorated Luftwaffe ace and Gruppen Commander, Alfred
Grislawski who flew over 800 missions in WWII and was credited with 133 air victories, many in the West during the Defence of the Reich flying the Focke Wulf Fw190 – considered by many, including Grislawski, to be the Luftwaffe’s best all-round fighter of WWII.

Wing Commander Don Kingaby DSO, AFC, DFM

These original signatures formed part of a project supported by Group Captain Sir Douglas Bader, Group Captain Leonard Cheshire VC, Air Vice Marshal Johnnie Johnson, Brigadier General Robin Olds and General Adolf Galland, all of whom advised and helped Mr Barnard collect the signatures.
