Size: 26" x 20" Edition: 400 Subject: 617 Squadron Lancaster.
Immediately following their devastating attack on the Mohne Dam, the specially modified Lancasters of 617 Squadron successfully breach the second of Germany's mighty western dams the Eder, on the night of the 16/17th May, 1943. After hitting the target with pinpoint precision, pilot Les Knight and Flight Engineer Ray Grayston battle with the controls of Lancaster AJ-N in order to clear the high ground beyond the dam as a torrent of water erupts into the valley below them; the wall of the Eder Dam is rent apart and collapses.
Each copy of Anthony Saunders' Limited Edition, Dambusters, is signed by two aircrew who attacked the Eder Dam: Flight Sergeant RAY GRAYSTON RAF Flight Sergeant FRED SUTHERLAND RCAF.
