Size: 30" x 23" Edition: 750 Subject: Special Operations Lysander in France.
Robert Taylor captures to perfection the secret world of the Special Operations pilot with his atmospheric painting They Landed By Moonlight. Packed with tension, he recreates the high drama of a typical rendezvous as a pilot from No. 161 Squadron based at Tangmere, readies his Lysander aircraft for take-off in a remote field deep inside occupied France. Clutching a Luger in one hand, he completes pre-take off checks as three passengers are spirited away by an armed member of the French Resistance. It is July 1943.
Each print in Robert Taylor's Limited Edition, They Landed By Moonlight, is signed by: Captain Murray Anderson Lieutenant Colonel Francis Cammaerts Air Chief Marshal Sir Lewis Hodges Wing Commander Len Ratcliff Group Captain Hugh Verity.
