"The Dambusters - Inbound to Target" by Robert Taylor
Limited Edition.
(Edition of 225)
The crews of 617 Squadron that took
part in the epic Dambusters raid on the night of 16/17 May 1943 were
among the finest in the RAF. They were the elite of Bomber Command, and
when they left RAF Scampton that night, the skills of their pilots –
some of the finest of the Second World War, would be tested to the
limit. In this outstanding new work Flight Lieutenant ‘Mick’ Martin, in
company with Flight Lieutenant John Hopgood in the distance, follows one
of the many canals of Holland, wingtips barely missing the sails of the
windmills, en-route to the Möhne Dam.
Delicately crafted in a subtle, unique blend of pencil and paint,
Robert's latest masterpiece is a truly stunning and highly individual
rendition of this most famous mission.
Printed on the latest precision
press, each of these exclusive limited edition prints is a true and
faithful reproduction of his masterful original.
Every print in this breathtakingly beautiful new
limited edition has been individually signed by the five surviving air
