Fire in the Sky - created by lchappell
The Battle of Britain is the name given to the World War II air campaign waged by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) against the United Kingdom during the summer and autumn of 1940.
The Battle of Britain was the first major campaign to be fought entirely by air forces, and was also the largest and most sustained aerial bombing campaign to that date.
The failure of Germany to achieve its objectives of destroying Britain's air defences, or forcing Britain to negotiate an armistice or an outright surrender, is considered its first major defeat and one of the crucial turning points in the war.The British victory in the Battle of Britain was achieved at a heavy cost.

amazing, great sources choice, very neat work, right on the theme, briefly i love it, just one tiny suggestion, if you make the fans of the aircraft swirl would make the image more dynamic, good luck

But I'm with Orientallad, try to make the propellers with movement. Maybe with radial blur?
Great image author!

Excellent entry and great subject. You can't say enough about the courage and determination of the British people in WWII. Using older less capable aircraft like the Hawker Hurricane and the newer and one of the ten best fighters in history the Supermarine Spitfire they fought overwhelming odds. This makes a nice tribute to those tenacious British fighter pilots! Reply »

In retrospect you'd have a much more realistic image if the props were given a radial blur, but it's still good work. Reply »

O-K War-bird fans, upon popular demand I have made an edit. Thank you all for the positive feed back and favorites. After some careful deliberation and pressure opacity smudge brush work I have added some blur to the blades on the props. Spaceranger, you are exactly right about the Hawker Hurricane, now those Hurricane drivers had some brass kahuna's for sure. Reply »
