Towton 1461, England's Bloodiest Battle, by Christopher Gravett

On a bitterly cold Palm Sunday, 29th March 1461, the army of King Edward IV met that of his Lancastrian enemies on a snow-covered battlefield south of the village of Towton in Yorkshire.  The struggle lasted all day in the longest and bloodiest battle of the Wars of the Roses.  With the arrival of Yorkist reinforcements under the Duke of Norfolk, the Lancastrian line eventually broke and their troops fled, many being caught and slaughtered in the death trap known as 'Bloody Meadow'.  This book examines the campaign that marked the resurgence of the Yorkist cause and established King Edward IV as king.

Bosworth 1485, Last Charge of the Plantagenets by Christopher Gravett

On 22 August 1485 a king and a challenger for the throne faced each other on a battlefield for the first time in the Wars of the Roses, at stake was the throne itself. The Battle of Bosworth is therefore one of the most important battles in English history as it effectively put an end to the dynastic struggle of the Wars of the Roses and placed the Tudor house on the throne of England. Since his death in battle against Henry Tudor, argument has raged around the central figure to the story, the controversial King Richard III. Shakespeare's image of a twisted and tortured king remains influential despite years of academic study, whilst the mystery of the Princes in the tower still retains its potency. Christopher Gravett cuts through this myth and propaganda to detail the course of this pivotal campaign that decided the fate of a dynasty.

Bosworth Field and the War of the Roses by A. L. Rowse

The Battle of Bosworth, fought on 22nd August 1485 brought to an end the Wars of the Roses that had raged between the noble houses of York and Lancaster for nearly one hundred years - so magnificently preserved for us in Shakespeare's obsessed dramas.

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.
