The V1 - Incredible shot of a RAF Hawker Tempest chasing down a V1 rocket over southern England.
Unearthed - fascinating unseen archive of cameras, photographs, documents and medals from a British aerial reconnaisance expert who fought all the way through Africa and southern Europe in WW2.
Flt Lt Eric Cooper from London kept all his wartime paraphernalia, including his K20 handheld camera and stereoscopic plotting instruments until his death in Devon aged 96 in 2012.
The incredible photographs show bombing raids, amphibious landings and badly damaged aircraft alongside off duty snaps of the campaign throughout the mediterraenean.
His nephew is now selling the compelling collection at Plymouth Auction Rooms in Devon next week.
