Military books on D Day by Osprey books by leading military author Ken Ford available from the military bookshop.

At 0016hrs on 6 June 1944 a Horsa glider ground to a halt a mere 60yards from the Orne Canal bridge at Benouville in Normandy.  A small group of British paratroopers burst from it and stormed the bridge within minutes.  The Allied liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe had begun.  Within a few hours landing craft would swarm towards Ouistreham as British 3rd Division swept ashore at Sword Beach.  The battle would then begin to break through to relieve the paratroopers.  In the third of four D-Day volumes, Ken Ford details the assault by British 6th Airborne Division and  the British landings on Sword Beach that secured the vital left flank of the invasion.

D Day 1944 (4), Gold & Juno Beaches by Ken Ford

Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy, was the greatest sea-borne military operation in history.  At the heart of the invasion and key to its success were the landings of British 50th Division on Gold Beach and Canadian 3rd Division on Juno Beach.  Not only did they provide the vital link between the landings of British 3rd Division on Sword Beach and the Americans to the west on Omaha, they would be crucial to the securing of the beachhead and the drive inland to Bayeux and Caen.  Ken Ford details the assault that began the liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe.

Disaster at D-Day, The Germans Defeat the Allie, June 1944 by Peter Tsouras

It is June 1944.  The Allied Armies are poised for the full scale invasion of Fortress Europe.  Across the Channel, the vaunted Wehrmacht lies waiting for the first signs of the invasion, ready for the final battle.  What happens next is well known to any student of modern history - but the outcome could have been very different, as revealed in this devastating account of a D-Day in which plans, missions and landings go horribly wrong.  Peter Tsouras introduces minor adjustments at the opening of the campaign - the repositioning of a unit, bad weather and misjudged orders - and examines their effect as they gather momentum and impact upon all subsequent events.  Without deviating from the genuine possibilities of the situation, he presents  scenario that keeps the reader guessing and changes the course of history.

Ivan Berryman - Battle of Britain Art

Artist Ivan Berryman has been producing many pencil drawings depicting scenes from the Battle of Britain. Each of these is signed by one of the pilots who was actually present at the battle, and is often inspired by the events they took part in themselves. Special signed print editions have also been created from existing full colour print editions, with some featuring multiple pilot signatures. You can find all of Ivan's Battle of Britain artwork on his website - www.ivanberryman.com, or see a full list of pencil drawings - updated regularly, in our dedicated section of pencil drawings.

When you go to a product page for an item in our shop, click on the names of the pilots where they are linked in the text for an item to see a profile page for that pilot. Often we include photos of signing sessions along with details of their flying career, and a full list of all items signed by the pilot.

Pilot Signed Battle of Britain Prints and Original Pencil Drawings

Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain

We are busy building up a portfolio of many many original pencil drawings which depict events from the Battle of Britain, the famous air battle won by 'the Few' in the summer of 1940. The British and Commonwealth pilots defended the air above Britain and the surrounding seaways from the might of the German Luftwaffe. Greatly outnumbered, the bravery of these young pilots saved the country from invasion, and let Britain survive to go on to defeat Germany. Without that first crucial victory, the outcome of the war could have been so very different. We have been busy arranging signing sessions with the few pilots who fought in that great battle who remain with us to this day. Our newly commissioned pencil drawings are often based on the descriptions of the battle by these great men, and are authenticated by their signatures. We have also had several editions of existing prints signed in full, or have signatures added to parts of existing editions. We have also incoporated signatures of some of the German pilots who also took part in the battle, some of whom went on to become top scoring aces of the war. See our Original Pencil Drawings Section - particularly the section of artists David Pentland and Ivan Berryman. Also, see our New Signature Editions section to see all of our newly signed editions.
