Fine Art, In Storage, FA01314
This print published by the National Gallery was lithographically produced at the Curwen Press after Paul Nash's major oil painting, 'The Battle of Britain' (1941, Imperial War Museums). This was one of four ambitious, large-scale war pictures Nash painted for the Ministry of Information (MOI) as an Official War Artist.
Fighter Affiliation: Halifax and Hurricane by Walter Thomas Monnington, oil on canvas
Fine Art, London, Art Gallery, Hangar Three, L001-1755
This is one of two paintings representing a Fighter Affiliation exercise in which the crew of a Halifax bomber were trained to out-manoeuvre a naturally faster and more agile Hurricane fighter. The exercise was designed to emulate the real-life situations faced by bomber crew pursued by enemy fighters, enabling them to practice positioning their turrets and gunsights, and make evasive manoeuvres, in response to attacks from challenging angles. This painting's companion picture is in the collection of Imperial War Museums (LD 3769).
