Description
Robert Taylor pays tribute to the courage and selfless determination
617 Squadron’s Dambuster crews, of which eight never returned, with this dramatic pencil rendering. 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.
Signatures
Each print is signed in pencil by artist Robert Taylor, and individually hand signed by SEVEN Dambuster pilots and aircrew who, between them, went to the Eder, Möhne, Sorpe and Ennepe Dams.

Signed some time ago, some of the signatories are sadly no longer with us, so this can never be repeated.
