DEFENCE OF THE REALMBy Robert Taylor

Group Captain PeterTownsend, the Commanding Officer of No. 85 Squadron, flies his Hawker Hurricaneover the city of London at the height of the Battle of Britain, during thelong, hot summer of 1940. Fresh from the heat of battle over London and theThames, he wearily turns his Hurricane towards home to refuel, re-arm andrejoin the fight.

Of all air combatpaintings this one, in particular, resonates with those who love the immortalHawker Hurricane and the legendary pilots who flew them. During the Battle ofBritain the Hurricane accounted for no less than four out of every five enemy aircraftdestroyed, and one of the greatest exponents of the Hurricane was PeterTownsend, probably the finest and most respected fighter leader to serve withRAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain.
