BREACHING THE EDER DAM - The Graphite Edition - Framed Collectors Piece
by Robert Taylor
As his bouncing bomb scores a direct hit, Pilot Officer Les Knight powers his Lancaster over the Eder Dam, a huge deluge of water cascading over the fractured wall as he departs the scene.
Released some years ago as an exclusively limited edition of just 100 copies worldwide, this long sold out print is personally signed by artist Robert Taylor and individually autographed by SEVEN Dambuster pilots and aircrew who, between them, went to the Eder, Möhne, Sorpe and Ennepe Dams.
Not to mention the piece has been additionally matted to include a further FIVE signatures, of the man who designed the famous bouncing bomb used in the raids on the German dams, the Commanding officer of Bomber Command at the time of the raids, the famous prime minister who led Britain through the dark days of the second world war, plus two high-ranking Dambuster pilots.
