Eagles Over the Steppes by Graeme Lothian.
Depicting ME109s flying over the Russian Front, the background is the enormous panorama of the Russian Steppe. The enormity of the battlefield on the Eastern Front was staggering in its vastness, stretching, as it did, nearly two thousand miles from frozen wastelands of the Arctic in the north, to the Black Sea in the south. Over this hostile, formidable territory fighter pilots of the Luftwaffe flew more combat missions and shot down more enemy aircraft during World War Two than any other group of fighter pilots in the entire history of aerial combat. Many of the top aces were in battle from the Spanish Civil War in 1938 until the fall of Germany in 1945. They flew continuously day after day, sometimes in the most appalling weather conditions, until they were shot down or wounded. Graeme Lothians emotive print pays tribute to the Fighter Aces of the Eastern Front. In the background is the enormous panorama of the Russian Steppe. Günther Rall is seen leading his pilots over enemy territory.

Fury of Assault by Robert Taylor.
When Luftwaffe bombers first appeared in force in the night skies over London in September 1940 they heralded the beginning of The Blitz - the most sustained period of concentrated bombing aimed at British cities during World War II. Robert Taylors evocative painting brings to life the frightening scenario of the Luftwaffes night bombing campaign. It is December 1941, and London is once again under concentrated attack. With fires raging below, the armada of German bombers is clearly visible in the night sky as they sweep across the city. Shimmering in the glow of destruction, a lone Hurricane night-fighter from 85 Squadron, based at nearby Gravesend, engages Heinkel 111s of KG55 in a desperate attempt to break up the formations.

Twilight Conquest by Nicolas Trudgian.
The Black Widow is a formidable creature. It lurks in the dark, carefully chooses its moment of attack and strikes unseen, cutting down its prey with deadly certainty. Northrop could not have chosen a more apt name with which to christen their new night fighter when the P61 Black Widow entered service in the spring of 1944. The first aircraft designed from the start as a night fighter, the P61 had the distinction of pioneering airborne radar interception during World War II, and this remarkable twin engined fighter saw service in the ETO, in China, the Marianas and the South West Pacific. Under the command of Lt Col O B Johnson, one of the P61s greatest exponents, the 422nd Night Fighter Squadron was the leading P61 outfit in the ETO, destroying 43 enemy aircraft in the air, 5 buzz bombs and hundreds of ground based vehicles, becoming the most successful night fighter squadron of the war. Flying a twilight mission in his P-61 Black Widow on October 24, 1944, Colonel Johnson and his radar operator have picked up a formation of three Fw190s, stealthily closing on their quarry in the gathering dusk, O.B. makes one quick and decisive strike, bringing down the enemy leader with two short bursts of fire. Banking hard, as the Fw190 pilot prepares to bale out, he brings his blazing guns to bear on a second Fw190, the tracer lighting up the fuselage of his P-61.

Into The Cloak of Darkness by Nicholas Trudgian
The eerie world of the night-fighter was a far
cry from the swashbuckling cut and thrust of the day-time aerial
dogfights. It took inordinate flying skills, teamwork, patience, and
nerves of steel to achieve success in the dark when all that could be seen
of the enemy was the tell-tale glow of an engine exhaust.
From the spring of 1940 Germany had developed their night-fighting
aircraft and honed their skills to combat the nightly bombing raids of the
RAF. By 1944 the Luftwaffe had sophisticated electronic range-finding and
navigation equipment fitted to their night-fighters, and their skilled
crews had become adept at intercepting the British heavy bombers under
cover of darkness. As the war progressed and proficiency increased, the greatest fear of
the RAF bomber crews as they approached their targets was the ever-present
danger of the marauding Luftwaffe night-fighters. Each night a deadly game
of hide-and-seek was played out in the skies above the Reich.
Messerschmitt 110s, JU-88s, and the specifically developed Heinkel 219
would rise up into the darkening skies from bases in the Rühr to await
the arrival of the RAF heavies. Loitering singly and in pairs, they would
infiltrate the bomber streams, each crew using their own individual method
of hunting and attack. They seldom came home empty handed.
Based in the Rühr Valley in 1944, NJG-1 was among the most successful
night-fighter units, being credited with 2173 night victories and another
145 scored in daylight. Nicolas Trudgian's emotive new painting recreates
a scene from one of this successful unit's missions on the night of
November 2, 1944: Ten aircraft took off to intercept a major raid on Dusseldorf, the
night witnessing a fierce battle high above the darkened city. NGJ-1 crews
assisted with the downing of 19 RAF bombers, one Luftwaffe pilot being
credited with no fewer than 6 victories that night. Seen in Nick's
painting are a Heinkel 219 and a Messerschmitt 110 climbing out from their
base at Münster Handorf, as they set out on their deadly mission. Below
them the spectacular Rühr Valley is vibrant in its mantle of winter's
first snowfall. A moving and evocative rendition, made all the more
poignant by the signatures of 3 leading World War II Luftwaffe
night-fighter aircrew on each print in the edition.
