This is another set of prints that we've found on the shelves, published in 2001. We have some artist signed copies and just six pilot signed copies, all will be marked as Artist's Proofs.

S/L Richard Muspratt who graduated from Course 1 in 1943 and flew Blenheims and PRU Spitfires during his operational career.

W/C Clive Rustin who graduated from the ETPS in 1960 and returned to be O/C of this and also of the RAE at Farnborough
