617 Squadron are probably the most famous RAF Squadron in history, mainly due to the audacious Dambuster raid in 1943. Other notably successful missions flying their Avro Lancaster bombers included precision raids on the mighty German battleship Tirpitz, U-boat pens, railways, V-weapons sites, canals and bridges. Through their skill and bravery 617 Squadron crews received many high honours including VCs for Wing Commander Guy Gibson and Wing Commander Leonard Cheshire.
Each print in Philip West’s Limited Edition, Legends of the Air, is signed by at least two 617 Squadron pilots and four other 617 aircrew.
