Introducing the first Victory Gold Box™ puzzle in almost 40 years!
In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, this is a limited edition run of only 100 puzzles.
This Artisan Series, Gold Box puzzle will be cut from 7mm Linden plywood.
This stunning puzzle comes in our beautiful new gold box packaging and like the original Victory Gold Box puzzles there is no guide picture on the box!
There is a guide picture included in a sealed envelope for those that desire to use it.
This puzzle was first cut by hand on a scroll saw by Mark Cappitella, a highly skilled artisan. It was then meticulously hand traced into our software to enable us to produce it in laser cut form - allowing you to enjoy a 'hand cut' puzzle from a master puzzle maker for a fraction of the price!
About the image:
Frustrated by the absence of Luftwaffe aircraft over the Normandy beaches on D-Day, Allied fighter pilots were spoiling for a fight. When a dozen JU88s appeared over Gold Beach on the following morning, June 7, 1944, the patrolling Spitfires of 401 Squadron wasted no time in getting into the fray. At just after 0800 hours twelve Junkers JU88s appeared out of the 2000ft cloud base, intent on making a diving attack on the heavily populated beachhead. Wheeling their Spitfires into the on-coming attack, Squadron Leader Cameron, C.O. of 401 Sqn, called his pilots to pick their own targets, and all hell broke loose. In the ensuing dogfight 401 Squadron's Canadian pilots destroyed no fewer than six of the JU88s, and the attack on the beach was averted. Nicolas Trudgian recreates the scene as Flying officer Arthur Bishop, son of WWI Ace Billy Bishop, brings down one of the JU88s that day. With its starboard engine on fire, and its hydraulics shot away, the doomed Luftwaffe fighter-bomber begins its ultimate, uncontrollable roll. F/O Arthur Bishop hurtles past the stricken bomber, Nick's superb study showing every detail of his Mk IX Spitfire.
Below the pockmarked landscape and beachhead is packed with detail and activity: No fewer than fifty vehicles of all description can be counted, with as many ships and landing craft offshore. Some thirty aircraft are visible in the sky. A massively comprehensive image that will keep collectors endlessly absorbed in a wholly realistic atmosphere, created by a hugely talented and highly respected aviation artist.

I own a couple of his prints and to be able to do one as a puzzle was a lovely experience as I got to appreciate his work in great detail as I pieced this puzzle together. More please!

Picture
As I said in my email there was a hole in middle of the picture and the picture of the puzzle was missing 3 cm off the right hand side. I am waiting for a resolution to the problem as I was told I would get in the email.
Thanks for your review Michael - as stated in our email to you, the replacement piece may take sometime but we will get it to you as soon as possible. The replacement guide image has been produced and will be sent out to you this week. We appreciate your custom and your patience. Best wishes, Team Victory.
