Head for Home by Anthony Saunders. (APB)
When a fighter escort with a bombers range first appeared over Berlin, Goering knew the end of the war was only a matter of time. when that particular fighter escort turned out to be the Mustang, perhaps the most outstanding of all WWII fighters, the time was all too short. Unlike the RAFs Spitfire and Hurricane, that had succeeded in the Battle of Britain, Goerings Luftwaffe failed to protect its own air space, leaving allied air forces unhampered to bomb Germany by both day and night. Two battle weary Mustangs of 357th Fighter Group, with ammunition spent and fuel low, have broken away from the main bomber force to head across the Channel for home.

Gathering Storm by Anthony Saunders (GL)
Mustangs of 434th Fighter Squadron head across the Channel. On 25th May 1944, pilots of the 434 Fighter Squadron flew their first combat mission. In the early hours of 6 thJune, D-Day, included in the 12,000 aircraft which flew cover, interdiction or other support missions were 434th pilots, some who flew three missions, returning to base long enough to refuel and rearm. Not until 29th July 1944 did the 434 Fighter Squadron down its first aircraft , when 1 Lt Arthur F. Jeffrey, one of the original six pilots assigned to the squadron, bagged an Me-163 Komet, a rocket-propelled interceptor. Over the next nine months squadron members flew bomber escort missions, attacked air fields and flew other missions as required, including support of beleaguered ground forces around Bastogne, Belgium, better known as the Battle of the Bulge. On 25th April 1945, pilots flew their last combat mission and 1 Lt Hilton O. Thomas shot down the last aircraft credited to an Eighth Air Force pilot - an Arado 234 Blitz, a jet-powered bomber. Of the four aces the from the 434th Fighter Squadron, three top aces evolved - Arthur F. Jeffery, Robin Olds and George W. Gleason.

Anthony Saunders must be one of the most
outstanding naval and aviation artists around today. He has
extraordinary skill in portraying scenes of aerial combat that took
place before he was born. Although in his own words Anthony prefers the
artistic side of painting war aircraft rather than the historic side, he
will spend many hours researching a subject, making sure that it is
technically correct in every detail before applying any oil to canvas.
The results of this technical and artistic skill are easy to see in his
paintings; breathtaking skyscapes graced with the machines of aerial
warfare beautifully brought to life with the rich colour that is unique
to oil paint. With this skill it is hardly surprising that Anthony also
paints many subjects other than aviation; scenes from Crimea and
Waterloo are a particular favourite. He is equally at home with
landscapes and portraitsHead for Home by Anthony Saunders
