APRIL 1945: A battle-weary Lancaster limps home along the Norfolk coast with its outer starboard engine out of action following one of Bomber Command’s last daylight operations of the war. Luckily a group of Mk.XIV Spitfires is on hand to provide close escort and will see the bomber safely back to base.
In recognition of the role played by these two legendary aircraft and the men who flew them, prints in this memorable edition are personally autographed by some of the RAF’s most respected veterans who flew Lancasters and Spitfires, making sure Home Again England is destined to become an instant classic.
