Dambusters - Breaching the Eder Dam by Robert Taylor features the Lancaster of Les Knight attacking the Eder Dam. Lancaster AJ-N scores a direct hit on the Eder Dam with its bouncing bomb during the famous Dambusters raid on the night of 16/17 May 1943. Pilot Officer Les Knight and Flight Engineer Ray Grayston fight the controls to clear the dam, combining their physical strength to haul the lumbering Lancaster up and over the dam and clear the high ground that lies ahead. With a tremendous explosion the Eder Dam collapsed before their eyes. Below and behind them, the second of Germany’s mighty western dams lies finally breached. Robert Taylor’s sensational painting vividly shows the dramatic moment of impact. This edition is personally signed & numbered by the artist, Robert Taylor along with two distinguished veterans of the Dambusters Raid: Squadron Leader George Johnson MBE DFM Sergeant Ray Grayston. Edition: 400 Size: 36 x 22 inches overall including borders.
