Battle Line by Philip
West
On the 6th June 1944 the invasion of Normandy commenced. The RAF was of
course a major combatant and formed part of a dedicated Allied force tasked
with freeing Europe. V.E. Day finally signaled the end of hostilities
on the 8th May 1945. During those bitter months many great air battles
were displaying the eerie feeling of the victor and vanquished between
two of the greatest aircraft ever built. On the occasion the Spitfire
pilot in victory and the Me109 pilot lucky to escape to safety.
Never before in the history of was had such an impressive and awesome
gathering of aircraft come together. The allies quest was for freedom
with the Luftwaffe fighting for its very existence - THE BATTLE LINES
WERE DRAWN.
