Hurricane Hero – The Story Behind the Print
Anthony Saunders’ Hurricane Hero portrays Flight Lieutenant Tom Neil of No. 249 Squadron in action during the Battle of Britain on 11 September 1940.
Flying from North Weald, the 20-year-old Neil is shown making a head-on attack against a formation of Heinkel bombers heading towards London.
The Hawker Hurricane carried a major share of RAF Fighter Command’s fighting during the Battle of Britain, and the painting places one of its best-known pilots at the centre of the action.
Every print is signed by Anthony Saunders and carries the original signature of Wing Commander Tom Neil DFC* AFC AE, applied to the print borders prepared for the edition.
