Keith Broomfield - an Armstrong Whitworth F.K.8 of No 8 Squadron RFC, with pilot Capt F.M.F West V.C and Lf J Haslam as an observer, R.A.F Museum print, signed by both crew members, framed,overall dimensions 58cm x 40cmNotes: On 10 August 1918, the third day of the Battle of Amiens, the Allies hoped to advance to a line running north from Roye, on the Amiens-Soissons road, through Chaulnes and Bray to Dernancourt, just south of Albert. However, German resistance was stiffening, and none of these goals was to be achieved until the German army withdrew at the end of the month. On 10 August 1918, Captain F M F West, in an Armstrong F8 with his observer Lieutenant John Haslam, was on a reconnaissance patrol north-east of Roye when he spotted German troops massing for a counter-attack. He was then set upon by German planes but, despite the fact that his left leg had been almost severed by bullets, managed to make it back to base to make his report. The injured leg was subsequently amputated.Victoria Cross Citation: "Captain West, while engaging hostile troops at a low altitude far over the enemy lines, was attacked by seven aircraft. Early in the engagement one of his legs was partially severed by an explosive bullet, and fell powerless into the controls, rendering the machine for the time unmanageable. Lifting his disabled leg, he regained control of the machine, and, although wounded in the other leg, he, with surpassing bravery and devotion to duty, manoeuvred his machine so skilfully that his observer was enabled to get several good bursts into the enemy machines, which drove them away. Captain West, then, with rare courage and determination, desperately wounded as he was, brought his machine over our lines and landed safely. Exhausted by his exertions, he fainted, but on regaining consciousness insisted on writing his report. (gazetted on 26th July, 1918.)"

Leni Riefenstahl (1902-2003)German film director who made Nazi propaganda films, including Triumph of the Will and Olympia. Group of five signed, second-generation modern print photographs, each depicting the director in different poses, one wearing an aviator's cap and goggles, 10.5 x 14.5cm(5) In the 1930s, she directed the Nazi propaganda films Triumph des Willens ("Triumph of the Will") and Olympia, resulting in worldwide attention and acclaim. The films are widely considered two of the most influential and technically innovative propaganda films ever made. Her involvement in Triumph des Willens, however, significantly damaged her career and reputation after World War II. Adolf Hitler collaborated closely with Riefenstahl during the production of at least three crucial Nazi films, and they formed a friendly relationship. After the war, Riefenstahl was arrested and found to be a Nazi "fellow traveller" but was not charged with war crimes. Throughout her later life, she denied having known about the Holocaust and was criticized as the "voice of the 'how could we have known?' defence." Riefenstahl's postwar work included an autobiography and two photography books on the Nuba people.

He went on to paint a huge range of aircraft from many periods, many of which he had flown, and his pictures were noted for technical accuracy combined with period and location atmosphere. He attended High Wycombe School of Art, 1946–8, then after two years in the Royal Air Force, became a painter, illustrating books and working for manufacturers and air forces. Young went freelance in the early 1960s. He showed with the first exhibition of the Society of Aviation Artists; was chairman of the Kronfeld Aviation Art Society; was a founder-member of the Guild of Aviation Artists, and gained its Gold Medal in 1983 and its chairmanship in 1987. Forty-five of Young's original paintings are displayed in the R.A.F. Museum in Hendon.

Spanish school, late 16th - early 17th century."Saint John. Based on an engraving by HENDRICK GOLTZIUS (Bracht, 1558 - Haarlem, 1617).Oil on canvas.Needs restoration.Size: 106 x 81,5 cm; 128 x 103,5 cm (frame).Saint John the Apostle has been represented here from the engraving of Hendrick Goltzius included in the series "Christ, the twelve apostles and Saint Paul" (also known as "The short Creed", because each print was accompanied by a verse of the Creed). The half-length figure emerges from a dark background. The figure has been sculpted with intense tenebrist lighting, and can be inscribed in the Mannerist tradition, which draws freely from Renaissance sources. As in Goltzius, the anatomical focus is on the expressiveness of the hands.Hendrick Goltzius was a Dutch draughtsman, engraver and painter. Considered the best Netherlandish engraver of Nordic Mannerism, he is renowned for his sophisticated technique and the "exuberance" of his compositions. Goltzius formed his style in the tastes of Mannerism, of which Haarlem was a stronghold until later. This was influenced by the painter and theorist Karel van Mander, who had moved to Haarlem from Vienna, bringing with him designs by Bartholomeus Spranger, the leading Mannerist painter outside Italy. In Rome Goltzius carefully studied the art of Michelangelo, Raphael Sanzio and lesser-known masters such as Polidoro da Caravaggio. Goltzius engraved six planetary Gods that Polidoro had painted in a palace in the Quirinal. His style evolved towards a more restrained classicism, presenting the figures in larger clothes and with more relaxed expressions. He was a meticulous yet productive printmaker. Among his early series is a series on Christ and the Apostles (1589), called The Creed. Around 1594 he created a series of six large plates on the life of the Virgin, for which he went back almost a century to imitate six different masters, including Dürer, Parmigianino, Titian and Lucas van Leyden. These engravings were so admired that they were nicknamed "Meisterstiche" (masterly engravings).
Spanish school, late 16th century - pps.s.XVII."Saint Philip". Based on an engraving by HENDRICK GOLTZIUS (Bracht, 1558 - Haarlem, 1617).Oil on canvas.Needs restoration.Size: 107 x 85 cm; 129,5 x 102 cm (frame).This painting, of tenebrist lights and mannerist workmanship, follows the model of Hendrick Goltzius in the gestural dramaturgy and the saint's features, as well as in the amplitude of the cape and its deep drapery. Specifically, Saint Philip the Apostle is depicted here based on Goltzius's engraving from the series "Christ, the Twelve Apostles and Saint Paul" (also known as "The Short Creed", because each print was accompanied by a verse from the Creed). The body has been chiselled by means of intense contrasts of light. Goltzius gave special prominence to the hands, furrowed with veins, as well as to the musculature, making tendons visible. A melting pot of influences converged in his painting: Michelangelo, Raphael? but also classical statuary, which the Dutch engraver had studied in depth in the Vatican collection.Hendrick Goltzius was a Dutch draughtsman, engraver and painter.
