LOW LEVEL ENCOUNTER by Gerald Coulson signed by FOUR Luftwaffe & RAF Aces

Description: A powerful limited edition depicting one of the most crucial periods of WWII – The Battle of Britain LOW LEVEL ENCOUNTERBy Gerald CoulsonIt is September 1940, the height of the Battle of Britain, and a Spitfire of 92 Sqn based at Duxford, is locked in close combat with a Messerschmitt Bf109E just south of the Thames Estuary. The fighters chase each other down to just a few hundred feet both at full throttle, turning and diving, each trying to get the other in his sights. A downed Heinkel He 111 lies in the corn field below whilst high above them the vapor trails of combat weave through the summer sky as the battle rages on. July 10th to October 31st 1940 - The Battle of Britain, a monumental event in British history and a major turning point of WWII. During those few summer months the RAF and Luftwaffe fought what was to become one of the most crucial and decisive aerial conflicts in history. Never before or since has air combat been so intense over such a period of time.
