Feb. 2012 - On Wings and a Prayer - William Phillips

It is the summer of 1940. A woman rides her bike through the English country-side. Dawn has
broken and the land beginsto stir with the sound of birds and farm animals. But this summer
the wind carries another sound as well, that of warplanes rising into amber skies.
This is the summer of the Battle of Britain and the inhabitants of this small island
nation struggle for their very wayof life against a menacing foe amassed along
the eastern coast of Europe.

The woman stops, gazes upward and offers a silent prayer, as Spitfires from 92 Squadron
roar skyward to search out and destroy the encroaching fighters and bombers of Hitler's Luftwaffe.

During the Battle of Britain there were three groups equipped with Spitfires. They were
#11 Group in the south, #10Group in the west and #5 Group in the northeast. They were all three
flying mainly Spitfire MK IIs.

What sets a Phillips work of aviation art apart from others is his prowess as a landscape artist. This Anniversary
Fine Art Edition Canvas captures all the vivid color and brilliance of the original William S. Phillips work of art.
At 30" x 20" this exclusive release of "On Wings as a Prayer" matches the size of the original painting and is
35% larger than the paper print released in 1999. This is one of Phillips’ most revered and sought-after work
s of art and a prize for the collection of any true aviation enthusiast.
