Philip West's tribute to the brave aircrews and operatives of the S.O.E. (Special Operations Executive). With little more than a map, compass and watch, Lysander pilots of the Special Operation Executive (SOE) roamed far and wide over Occupied Europe. Mainly during full moon periods, they would deliver equipment to the Resistance, drop off secret agents then return to Britain with escaping aircrew or agents. The skill and bravery of these pilots was remarkable. 60 Artist Proof Edition. Each edition has been signed by the artist along with two highly distinguished pilots, who both "landed by moonlight"; Flight Lieutenant R G "Bob" Large DFC, Legion d’Honneur. Flight Lieutenant Murray Anderson DFC*, US Air Medal. Overall Size : 16½ x 23½ inches / 42cm x 58cm
