Commemorating The Dambusters
Some superb signatures & prints...
On 16th May 1943, the crews of 617 Sqn were about to embark on an audacious low-level assault against the great dams of Germany. Codenamed 'Operation Chastise', the task required exceptional flying skills and a specially designed ‘bouncing bomb’, but if the dams could be destroyed it would deal a massive blow to the Nazi war machine.
In tribute to this famous raid, we're delighted to feature these memorable pieces, all of which include ORIGINAL autographs of veterans who took part:
THE DAMBUSTERS
Framed Collectors Piece by Robert Taylor
Robert's first Dambuster release was published in 1980 and we rarely come across copies on the Secondary Market that are in as pristine condition as this.
Personally signed by legendary Dambuster Pilot ‘MICK’ MARTIN and the Commander-in-Chief of Bomber Command at the time of the raid, ARTHUR HARRIS, our expert framing team have 'worked their magic' to create a stunning EIGHT signature collector's piece!

BREACHING THE DAM
Framed Collector's Piece by Nicolas Trudgian
Recreating events on the night of the raid, Nick's rare piece depicts a pivotal moment as Guy Gibson's Lancaster he skims the dam’s flak tower whilst attacking the Möhne.
Personally signed by four veterans directly involved in the raid, we've framed this special piece to include miniature medal set of leader of the raid, Guy Gibson.
If that wasn't already special enough, we've also included four additional autographs in the mount to create a completely unique TWELVE signature collector's! Find out who signed it HERE!
