Study: Fighter Affiliation by Walter Thomas Monnington, watercolour on paper

This watercolour is a compositional study for the painting 'Fighter Affiliation', commissioned by the War Artists' Advisory Committee in 1943 (see L001-1755; LD 3770). Monnington depicts a scene from the rear perspective of a Halifax bomber aircraft amid clouds, looking towards the gun turret and at an approaching Hurricane fighter aircraft in the distance.

Fighter Affiliation: Halifax and Hurricane by Walter Thomas Monnington, oil on canvas

Fine Art, London, Art Gallery, Hangar Three, L001-1755

This is one of two paintings representing a Fighter Affiliation exercise in which the crew of a Halifax bomber were trained to out-manoeuvre a naturally faster and more agile Hurricane fighter. The exercise was designed to emulate the real-life situations faced by bomber crew pursued by enemy fighters, enabling them to practice positioning their turrets and gunsights, and make evasive manoeuvres, in response to attacks from challenging angles. This painting's companion picture is in the collection of Imperial War Museums (LD 3769).
