Dambusters - Leading the Way

By Robert Taylor

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 bomber pilots of the Second World War, would be tested to the limit.

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.
