Lancasters
of No. 83 Squadron Pathfinder Force as they climb out over
the east coast of England en-route for Peenemunde on the warm
summer evening of 17th August, 1943. Brilliantly navigated
in darkness right over the target, the masterbombers
aircraft, seen in the forefront of Robert Taylor's painting,
made nine dangerous passes over the target, directing operations.
During the next 55 minutes Hitlers secret weapon establishment
was almost totally destroyed by the bomber crews that followed
his directions.
