Wellington Attack by David Pritchard. On the night of 12th/ 13th August 1941 No.9 Squadron, in their Wellington Bombers, are once again taking the war into the heartland of Nazi Germany, WS-G Skipper Flt/Lt Kenneth Ball fights to keep her straight and level through the intense flack that surrounds the target, while his front gunner Sgt Cyril Chandler tries in vain to take on the menace of the search lights that seek their Wellington. Both aircraft coded WS-G and WS-Z would be listed as Failed to Return from this mission. This Print was split into dfferent editions signed by different groups of crew, this edition is not signed by the artist. |
The Hard Way Home by Robert Taylor. The Battle of Britain had been won by the young fighter pilots of Fighter Command, but now it fell to another band of young men to wage total warfare against the Nazi war machine - the aircrew of RAF Bomber Command. And like the fighter pilots of the Battle of Britain, the young men who flew with Bomber Command came not just from Britain, but from all over the Commonwealth, and from the countries of occupied mainland Europe. Every man was a volunteer, prepared to endure the deadly flak and prowling night fighters, to say nothing of the savage and bitter cold, in order to wage their relentless attack on the military and industrial targets of the Third Reich. The aircraft that carried these young men to war were numerous, but bearing the brunt of the RAFs incessant campaign were two heavy bombers, the stalwarts of Bomber Command - the Lancaster and the Halifax. Between them they accounted for over three quarters of all the bombs dropped by the RAF, and Halifaxes alone accounted for a total of 73,312 operations, nearly a fifth of all missions carried out by Bomber Command. |
