Fast and Furious by Stan Stokes.

Thomas Sopwith was a distinguished British aviator who organized the Sopwith Aviation Company. Sopwith produced an aircraft which won the coveted Schneider Trophy race. With the start of WW I, Sopwith Aviation shifted its focus to military aircraft, and was to become one the major suppliers to both the Royal Air Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. In October of 1914 two Sopwith Tabloids flew a 200-mile round trip strike against the airship sheds at Dusseldorf and Cologne. The Sopwith Strutter firmly entrenched Sopwith as a producer of quality-built aircraft. The Strutter was a precursor of the Sopwith Pup, which would serve as the Royal Navys first carrier aircraft. The first production Pup was delivered to the Royal Navy in 1916. Most Pups were powered by a 80-HP Le Rhone radial engine, which gave the Pup a top speed of 115-MPH and an endurance of three hours. Many Navy Pups were modified to utilize a tripod mounted Lewis gun which could be fired forward or upwards through a cutout in the upper wing. Sopwith Pups were also utilized on battlecruisers. In fact, a Pup launched from the HMS Yarmouth downed the Zeppelin L.23 in August of 1917. The Royal Navys HMS Furious was the first dedicated aircraft carrier in the world. The Furious was initially laid down as a battlecruiser, but the design was modified during construction to include a flying deck forward of the main bridge. This configuration allowed aircraft to be launched as the Furious steamed into the wind. An attempt at recovery by having aircraft side slip on to the deck proved ineffective with one of the early attempts resulting in the death of the pilot, Squadron Commander E. H. Dunning, who had made the worlds first successful carrier landing on a ship underway only days earllier. The Royal Navy decided to further modify the Furious by adding a second deck aft of the bridge. The fore and aft decks were connected by a narrow ramp on either side of the funnel and bridge, and this permitted aircraft to be to moved between the two decks. Sets of longitudinal wires were set across the aft deck, and were designed to catch the skids of the Sopwith Pups during landings. Recovering aircraft was still tricky, and a rope barrier was erected aft of the mainmast to prevent aircraft which overshot from crashing into the superstructure of the ship. The first carrier-based naval air strike in history was carried out against the Zeppelin hangars at Tondern by the Furious on July 19, 1918. Seven Sopwith Camels, each carrying two 50-pound bombs were utilized for this mission. This important moment in the history of naval aviation is captured magnificently in Stan Stokes highly detailed painting entitled Fast and Furious.

The Lion, Sir David Beattys flagship, And Other Great Vessels Dashing After The flying Germans.

It happened that Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty was making a patrol cruise off the English coast with a force of similar composition to the German, and disposed in much the same way. That is, the light cruisers and the destroyers were out ahead of the main squadron. Shortly before half past seven the lookout in the Lion, Sir David Beattys flagship, which was commanded by Captain A. E. M. Chatfield, sighted the flash of guns. A few minutes later a message was passed to the flagship to the effect that the cruiser Aurora, commanded by Captain W. S. Nicholson, was in action with the advanced guard of the German fleet. In a very short time the whole fleet was going hell for leather after the flying Germans.

The German Battle Cruisers Derflinger, Seydlitz And Moltke, And The Battleship Blucher, The North Sea To Shell English Seaside Resorts.

On the early morning of Sunday, January 24th 1915, a powerful German force of battle cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers came pelting across the Dogger Bank bent on shelling English seaside resorts. There was the newly completed Derfflinger, carrying eight 12-inch guns on her 28,000 tons; the Seydlitz and Moltke, armed with ten 11-inch apiece; and the Blucher a sort of semi-Dreadnought with the fine sounding armament of twelve 8.2-inch guns. The light cruisers and destroyers were sent on ahead so as to give timely warning of any danger.

The Opening Of The Action Between The Kent And The Nurnberg Off The Falkalnd Islands.

The Kent began the engagement with Admiral Von Spees fleet by opening fire on the Nurnberg at a range of 11,000 yards-nearly six and a half miles. A fight at full speed was very soon in progress, and both vessels showed good shooting. But by a combination of fine marksmanship and good luck of the first shells fired by the Kent struck the Nurnberg square in the stern, disabling the after guns affecting the enemys speed and power of manoeuvring. The guns of the Nurnberg fired more rapidly than those of the Kent, however, and shells fell all round the British cruiser. Her silk ensign was shot to ribbons, and the foretopmast was carried away.

A Fire Breaks Out In The Forepart Of The Nurnberg.

The Kent began firing lyddite at a range of 7,500 yards, when the two ships were running broadside to broadside. The upper deck of the Nurnberg was already a mass of twisted and battered iron, while her sides were heavily marked with shell holes. Before long a great fire burst out in the forepart of the ship and her guns ceased firing. But as the Kent which also ceased firing, steamed to within 3,000 yards, the Nurnbergs flag was seen to be still flying. The British gunners began to shell the doomed ship again, and in five minutes her flag was brought down with a run. The action lasted just two hours, and for his gallant services Captain J.D. Allen was awarded a C.B.

The Famous Landing From The River Clyde At V Beach.

At 6.10 a.m. on April 25th 1915, the River Clyde struck V Beach, and the hopper went ahead and grounded on the port bow, in the charge of Midshipman Drewry. In the midst of very dangerous firing from the opposite shore, Drewry jumped over the bow and waded towards the beach. Meeting a soldier wounded in the water, he tried to carry him ashore with the assistance of another soldier, but the man was shot in the arms of the rescuers. Drewry then ran along the bridge, but seeing Commander Unwin and Able seaman Williams towing the lighters he waded out and assisted them in securing the boats under heavy rifle and maxim fire. He was wounded in the head, but continued his work and twice subsequently attempted to swim from lighter to lighter with a line. He was awarded the V.C.

Lieutenant- Commander Boyle In Submarine E14 Evading Turkish Mines Passing Through The Dardanelles.

After Lieutenant Norman Holbrook, V.C., had crept up the Dardanelles the Turks greatly improved the anti-submarine defences of the narrow channel. The submerged minefields were increased, and in certain parts hulks were sunk to impede the progress of our submarines. Lieut. –Commander Boyle and those with him therefore performed a great feat, to which it is impossible to do full justice, in getting through to the Sea of Marmora and returning safely. For the great services of the E14, which lasted three weeks, Lieut. –Commander Boyle was awarded the V.C.; Lieutenant E. G. Stanley and Acting-Lieutenant R. W. Lawrence the D.S.O., and each member of the crew the D.S.M.

Lieutenant DOyly-Hughes Brought In To His Ship On His Return From His Exploit.

When he reached the beach, Lieutenant DOyly-Hughes plunged into the seas in his clothes and swam out to where he expected his ship to be. It had moved, however, and he was compelled to return and hide on the shore. At dawn he left everything behind and swam along the hopes of finding the ship, blowing his whistle at intervals to announce his whereabouts. On rounding a cliff he observed what he thought were Turkish boats making out from shore towards him. He immediately made for the beach again, where he discovered that the cause of his fears was his own ship. A last short swim, exhausted though he was, brought to safety among his men.

Keep It Up, Lads. Were Outclassed And Done For, But Keep It Up!

Lieutenant Richard Turner, the gunnery officer of H.M.S. Pegasus, was one of the first to be hit, both his legs being shattered by a shell. But as he lay bleeding to death his thoughts were for the honour of his ship and the Service. Keep it up lads, he called to his men. “Were outclassed and done for, but d--- them, and keep it up!

The capture of the German gunboat Komet was an incident worthy of the great days of Nelson. Lieut. Jackson was informed by natives that the Komet was hiding off the coast of New Guinea. He accordingly organised a party to capture her. So well was the affair arranged that the enemy had no inkling of the approach of Lieut. Jacksons boat, and before they could recover from their surprise he and his men had swarmed on board and resistance was useless.

Midshipman Malleson Jumping With a Line From A Barge to Link up Another Barge Which Was Drifting.

Lieutenant Morse and Midshipman Drewry were on board the barge, which lay nearest to the shore when a shot severed the rope by which the barges were lashed, again setting them adrift. Midshipman Drewry was hit in the head by a fragment of shell, but hastily binding his wound he jumped overboard with a fresh line. For the second time the rope proved too short, whereupon Midshipman Wilfred Malleson threw himself over the side and made fast the drifting barges. Once more the line was broken, and though Malleson made two further gallant efforts to carry a rope he was unsuccessful. He was however, rewarded with the V.C. for his great gallantry.

Battle of Dogger Bank, 24th January 1915.   A German force of 4 Battle Cruisers , 4 light cruisers and 22 destroyers left their German port to attack targets on the English Coastline. on the same day a Royal navy fleet of 6 battle cruisers, 8 light cruisers and 28 destroyers had left Scapa Flow to patrol the North Sea.

The naval battle which ensued lasted three hours with the German losing The battle Cruiser Blucher which was sunk by Gun fire and torpedo hits. The British  flag ship HMS Lion was hit in the engine room and was halted. Many of the ships that took part received damage. but the casualties to the Germans were 1,000 killed and 300 wounded compared to the British losses of 6 killed and 22 wounded.

Fast and Furious by Stan Stokes.Thomas Sopwith was a distinguished British aviator who organized the Sopwith Aviation Company. Sopwith produced an aircraft which won the coveted Schneider Trophy race. With the start of WW I, Sopwith Aviation shifted its focus to military aircraft, and was to become one the major suppliers to both the Royal Air Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. In October of 1914 two Sopwith Tabloids flew a 200-mile round trip strike against the airship sheds at Dusseldorf and Cologne. The Sopwith Strutter firmly entrenched Sopwith as a producer of quality-built aircraft. The Strutter was a precursor of the Sopwith Pup, which would serve as the Royal Navys first carrier aircraft. The first production Pup was delivered to the Royal Navy in 1916. Most Pups were powered by a 80-HP Le Rhone radial engine, which gave the Pup a top speed of 115-MPH and an endurance of three hours. Many Navy Pups were modified to utilize a tripod mounted Lewis gun which could be fired forward or upwards through a cutout in the upper wing. Sopwith Pups were also utilized on battlecruisers. In fact, a Pup launched from the HMS Yarmouth downed the Zeppelin L.23 in August of 1917. The Royal Navys HMS Furious was the first dedicated aircraft carrier in the world. The Furious was initially laid down as a battlecruiser, but the design was modified during construction to include a flying deck forward of the main bridge. This configuration allowed aircraft to be launched as the Furious steamed into the wind. An attempt at recovery  by having aircraft side slip on to the deck proved ineffective with one of the early attempts resulting in the death of the pilot, Squadron Commander E. H. Dunning, who had made the worlds first successful carrier landing on a ship underway only days earllier. The Royal Navy decided to further modify the Furious by adding a second deck aft of the bridge. The fore and aft decks were connected by a narrow ramp on either side of the funnel and bridge, and this permitted aircraft to be to moved between the two decks. Sets of longitudinal wires were set across the aft deck, and were designed to catch the skids of the Sopwith Pups during landings.  Recovering aircraft was still tricky, and a rope barrier was erected aft of the mainmast to prevent aircraft which overshot from crashing into the superstructure of the ship. The first carrier-based naval air strike in history was carried out against the Zeppelin hangars at Tondern by the Furious on July 19, 1918. Seven Sopwith Camels, each carrying two 50-pound bombs were utilized for this mission. This important moment in the history of naval aviation is captured magnificently in Stan Stokes highly detailed painting entitled Fast and Furious.

HMS Dreadnought at Portsmouth by Randall  Wilson

The Lion, Sir David Beattys flagship, And Other Great Vessels Dashing After The flying Germans.   It happened that Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty was making a patrol cruise off the English coast with a force of similar composition to the German, and disposed in much the same way.  That is, the light cruisers and the destroyers were out ahead of the main squadron.  Shortly before half past seven the lookout in the Lion, Sir David Beattys flagship, which was commanded by Captain A. E. M. Chatfield, sighted the flash of guns.  A few minutes later a message was passed to the flagship to the effect that the cruiser Aurora, commanded by Captain W. S. Nicholson, was in action with the advanced guard of the German fleet.  In a very short time the whole fleet was going hell for leather after the flying Germans.        

The Scene Amongst The Gunners Of The Carmania During The Action With The Cap Trafalgar.    The non-combatant members of the Carmanias crew also distinguished themselves during the action with the Cap Trafalgar.  Though running considerable risk from shells which burst about the upper works of the ship, two stewards went from one gun crew to another with buckets of limejuice and water for the refreshment of the men who were working in the sweltering heat of a tropical sun.  Together with others of the crew they were awarded the D.S.M.

The German Battle Cruisers Derflinger, Seydlitz And Moltke, And The Battleship Blucher, The North Sea To Shell English Seaside Resorts.          On the early morning of Sunday, January 24th 1915, a powerful German force of battle cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers came pelting across the Dogger Bank bent on shelling English seaside resorts.  There was the newly completed Derfflinger, carrying eight 12-inch guns on her 28,000 tons; the Seydlitz and Moltke, armed with ten 11-inch apiece; and the Blucher a sort of semi-Dreadnought with the fine sounding armament of twelve 8.2-inch guns.  The light cruisers and destroyers were sent on ahead so as to give timely warning of any danger. 

The Opening Of The Action Between The Kent And The Nurnberg Off The Falkland Islands. The Kent began the engagement with Admiral Von Spees fleet by opening fire on the Nurnberg at a range of 11,000 yards-nearly six and a half miles.  A fight at full speed was very soon in progress, and both vessels showed good shooting.  But by a combination of fine marksmanship and good luck of the first shells fired by the Kent struck the Nurnberg square in the stern, disabling the after guns affecting the enemys speed and power of manoeuvring.  The guns of the Nurnberg fired more rapidly than those of the Kent, however, and shells fell all round the British cruiser.  Her silk ensign was shot to ribbons, and the foretopmast was carried away.

A Fire Breaks Out In The Forepart Of The Nurnberg.  The Kent began firing lyddite at a range of 7,500 yards, when the two ships were running broadside to broadside.  The upper deck of the Nurnberg was already a mass of twisted and battered iron, while her sides were heavily marked with shell holes.  Before long a great fire burst out in the forepart of the ship and her guns ceased firing.  But as the Kent which also ceased firing, steamed to within 3,000 yards, the Nurnbergs flag was seen to be still flying.  The British gunners began to shell the doomed ship again, and in five minutes her flag was brought down with a run.  The action lasted just two hours, and for his gallant services Captain J.D. Allen was awarded a C.B.

The Famous Landing From The River Clyde At V Beach.  At 6.10 a.m. on April 25th 1915, the River Clyde struck V Beach, and the hopper went ahead and grounded on the port bow, in the charge of Midshipman Drewry.  In the midst of very dangerous firing from the opposite shore, Drewry jumped over the bow and waded towards the beach.  Meeting a soldier wounded in the water, he tried to carry him ashore with the assistance of another soldier, but the man was shot in the arms of the rescuers.  Drewry  then ran along the bridge, but seeing Commander Unwin and Able seaman Williams towing the lighters he waded out and assisted them in securing the boats under heavy rifle and maxim fire.  He was wounded in the head, but continued his work and twice subsequently attempted to swim from lighter to lighter with a line.  He was awarded the V.C.

Lieutenant- Commander Boyle In Submarine E14 Evading Turkish Mines Passing Through The Dardanelles.   After Lieutenant Norman Holbrook, V.C., had crept up the Dardanelles the Turks greatly improved the anti-submarine defences of the narrow channel.  The submerged minefields were increased, and in certain parts hulks were sunk to impede the progress of our submarines.  Lieut. –Commander Boyle and those with him therefore performed a great feat, to which it is impossible to do full justice, in getting through to the Sea of Marmora and returning safely.  For the great services of the E14, which lasted three weeks, Lieut. –Commander Boyle was awarded the V.C.; Lieutenant E. G. Stanley and Acting-Lieutenant R. W. Lawrence the D.S.O., and each member of the crew the D.S.M.

Lieutenant DOyly-Hughes Brought In To His Ship On His Return From His Exploit.   When he reached the beach, Lieutenant Doyly-Hughes plunged into the seas in his clothes and swam out to where he expected his ship to be.  It had moved, however, and he was compelled to return and hide on the shore.  At dawn he left everything behind and swam along the hopes of finding the ship, blowing his whistle at intervals to announce his whereabouts.  On rounding a cliff he observed what he thought were Turkish boats making out from shore towards him.  He immediately made for the beach again, where he discovered that the cause of his fears was his own ship.  A last short swim, exhausted though he was, brought to safety among his men.

Keep It Up, Lads.  Were Outclassed And Done For, But Keep It Up!  Lieutenant Richard Turner, the gunnery officer of H.M.S. Pegasus, was one of the first to be hit, both his legs being shattered by a shell.  But as he lay bleeding to death his thoughts were for the honour of his ship and the Service.  Keep it up lads, he called to his men.  “Were outclassed and done for, but d--- them, and keep it up!  Then, after asking for brandy and a cigarette, Lieutenant Turner died.  But to the end the men took courage from his words.

A Marine Holds Aloft The Union Jack Of The Pegasus Which Had Been Shot From Its Staff.  During the action the flag of the Pegasus was shot away from its staff.  A Marine at once ran forward, picked it up, and waved it aloft.  He was struck down while standing on the deck exposed to the enemys fire, but another came forward to take his place.  Until the end the flag was kept flying.  Most of the casualties occurred on deck, and with the utmost bravery Staff-surgeon Alfred J. Hewitt rendered every assistance to the wounded.

Lieutenant J. M. Kacksons Surprise Capture Of The German Gunboat Komet.  The capture of the German gunboat Komet was an incident worthy of the great days of Nelson.  Lieut. Jackson was informed by natives that the Komet was hiding off the coast of New Guinea.  He accordingly organised a party to capture her.  So well was the affair arranged that the enemy had no inkling of the approach of Lieut. Jacksons boat, and before they could recover from their surprise he and his men had swarmed on board and resistance was useless.

Midshipman Malleson Jumping With a Line From A Barge to Link up Another Barge Which Was Drifting.  Lieutenant Morse and Midshipman Drewry were on board the barge, which lay nearest to the shore when a shot severed the rope by which the barges were lashed, again setting them adrift.  Midshipman Drewry was hit in the head by a fragment of shell, but hastily binding his wound he jumped overboard with a fresh line.  For the second time the rope proved too short, whereupon Midshipman Wilfred Malleson threw himself over the side and made fast the drifting barges.  Once more the line was broken, and though Malleson made two further gallant efforts to carry a rope he was unsuccessful.  He was however, rewarded with the V.C. for his great gallantry.

Pilot Signed Battle of Britain Prints and Original Pencil Drawings

Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain

We are busy building up a portfolio of many many original pencil drawings which depict events from the Battle of Britain, the famous air battle won by 'the Few' in the summer of 1940. The British and Commonwealth pilots defended the air above Britain and the surrounding seaways from the might of the German Luftwaffe. Greatly outnumbered, the bravery of these young pilots saved the country from invasion, and let Britain survive to go on to defeat Germany. Without that first crucial victory, the outcome of the war could have been so very different. We have been busy arranging signing sessions with the few pilots who fought in that great battle who remain with us to this day. Our newly commissioned pencil drawings are often based on the descriptions of the battle by these great men, and are authenticated by their signatures. We have also had several editions of existing prints signed in full, or have signatures added to parts of existing editions. We have also incoporated signatures of some of the German pilots who also took part in the battle, some of whom went on to become top scoring aces of the war. See our Original Pencil Drawings Section - particularly the section of artists David Pentland and Ivan Berryman. Also, see our New Signature Editions section to see all of our newly signed editions.
