88mm FlaK 18/36/37/41 & PaK 43 1936-45 by John Norris

The German 88mm was by far the most famous and versatile artillery weapon of World War II.  It was first used as an anti-aircraft weapon by the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War and saw further service in the German invasions of Poland and France, where it was first used in its anti-tank role.  This role was particularly successful and the 88 became feared by tank crews from North Africa to Russia.  Apart from these two main roles the 88mm also served as the main weapon on late-war German tanks, as a self-propelled gun, and even as an aerial weapon.  This book covers all these variants, explaining their design, development and operational use.

Book price £8.99. Book serial number Osprey NV46.

Infantry Mortars of World War II by John Norris

The mortar has proved to be one of the most influential and prevalent infantry support weapons of the 20th century.  Throughout the course of World War II many different varieties of this weapon were used by the six main protagonists in the war: Britain, the USA, the Soviet Union, Germany, Italy and Japan.  Although the concept of the mortar remained constant, calibres and usage varied enormously according to tactical use and terrain.  This title covers all variants from the British 3-in.-equipped 'Heavy Weapon Companies', through to the Soviet 12cm mortars, which were incorporated into the Tank Corps for the storming of Berlin in 1945.

Book price £8.99. Book serial number Osprey NV54.

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.
