Spitfire! by David Pentland. (P) Sussex Coast, England, 16th August 1940. For Donald MacDonald, Squadron leader of 64 Squadron, this particular day was fairly eventful.

Messerschmitt versus Messerschmitt by David Pentland. (P) Belgrade, Yugoslavia, 6th April 1941.

Eagle in the Snow, Petsamo, Finland, January 1943 by David Pentland. (P) Walter Schuck of JG5 Eismeer prepares to take off on patrol in his Me109F. Schuck served with this unit from December 1942 to April 1945, and in that time claimed 198 victories.

Bomber's Bane by David Pentland. (P) Ostrov, Latvia, 6th July 1941.

Stukas over England, South Coast, July 1940 by David Pentland. (P) Junker Ju87B-1s of 7 Staffel, Stg 77 swoop down to attack coastal targets.

Schuck's flight of Me109G2s from 8./JG5 attacked the four Soviet Hurricanes of 78 IAP/VVS which were on patrol over the boats. The Soviet formation leader, Mladshiy Leytenant Valeriy Kiritshenko, ordered his men to form a defensive Lufbery circle but this proved inadequate protection against Schucks determined attack. Breaking into the Ring he first downed Kitshenko, and then pursued and shot down a second Hurricane.

Charity by David Pentland. (P) Malta, 22nd June 1940. Some 12 days after the air battle for Malta began, the recently raised ad hoc Gladiator flight claimed its first confirmed victory. Flt. Lt. George Burges, and Flg. Off. Timber Woods were alerted to a lone S.79 from 219 Squadriglia on a reconnaissance sortie. They managed to intercept the intruder over Valetta, and although Timber's first attack was unsuccessful, Burges in Charity shot off the Savoia's port engine sending it crashing into the sea at Kalafrana.

Textbook Attack by David Pentland. (P) Bir el Gobi, North Africa, 8th August 1940.

Last to enter the fray were the top cover vic of Pat Pattle, Sid Richens and Greg Shorty Graham. By the end of the brief 5 minute battle 9 Italian aircraft were confirmed destroyed plus 6 probables.
