Pilot Officer John Bisley of 126 Squadron in combat with Me 109s from JG-53 during one of the intense aerial air battles over Valetta in April 1942. Between the summer of 1940 and the end of 1942, Malta became one of the most bombed places on earth. The RAF’s desperate fight to retain control of the diminutive Mediterranean island, and the defiant courage of the people of Malta, is one of the epic stories of World War Two. Signed by six Spitfire pilots who flew in the defence of Malta.

The morning of 19 July 1944 saw the USAAF’s 8th and 15th Air Forces mount an attack of awesome proportion against the aircraft factories in the region of Munich. To combat a seemingly overwhelming force of 1400 bombers and almost as many fighter escorts, the Luftwaffe were able to put up just three Gruppen from JG300 and one from JG302, flying a mix of Me109G’s and Fw190’s – barely 50 serviceable fighters between them. They were joined by a dozen Me109’s of
II./JG27, these fighters desperately trying to defend the very factories in which they were made.
Shown are the Messerschmitt Me109G’s of II./JG27, sporting their sage green ‘Defence of the Reich’ markings, returning to base at Fels am Wagram after the ferocious combat fought on that warm summer day. A P-38 Lightning, one of 47 Allied aircraft brought down during the air fighting, lies crash-landed in the spectacular Bavarian countryside, testimony to the fact that this is still very much “Messerschmitt Country”.

Dawn on a crisp February morning in 1945 at Brandenburg-Briest, Germany. Walter Schuck returns from a brief test flight in his Me 262 jet to discover that the airstrip is under attack by American fighters. Whilst Me 109's dive in to defend the base,
P-51 Mustangs harass Schuck, as P-47 Thunderbolts bomb the hangars.

A Lancaster has been damaged and is left far behind the main force to make its own
perilous way home as best it can. Seeing the vulnerability of their friends, a
Mosquito crew expose themselves to the same dangers, and throttle back to stay
alongside the injured warbird. Dawn has broken, the visibility is unlimited. They
have yet to make that Channel crossing and enemy fighters are in the area. The
crew of the Lancaster struggle to maintain flying speed and enough height to bring
their large four-engined aircraft home. Perhaps tonight they will all drink and laugh in the local pub - perhaps!
