EN ROUTE - Artist proof

Part of a Portfolio Pair of commemorative, limited edition prints to celebrate the 65th Anniversary of the famous Dambusters raid.

Flying at altitudes as low as fifty feet, Lancasters of 617 Squadron follow the Dutch canals en-route to Germany - their target, the mighty Dams of the Ruhr - on the night of the 16 / 17 May 1943.

At such low level the pilots of many of the specially modified Lancasters found their flying skills tested to the extreme as they were forced to take violent evasive actions when they encountered flak, large electricity pylons and tall trees, but several of the gunners in the crews still managed to shoot up and damage a number of trains on the way.

Each print is individually signed & numbered the artist, along with two Dambuster veterans:

Squadron Leader GEORGE JOHNSON DFM, RAF
Flight Sergeant GRANT S. McDONALD RCAF

This is also available as a matching numbered ARTIST PROOF Dambuster Portfolio pair with "DAMBUSTERS" by Anthony Saunders for £230.00
