Commemorating the Dambusters Raid!
On 16th May 1943, the crews of 617 Sqn were about to embark on an audacious low-level assault against the great dams of Germany...
Codenamed Operation Chastise, the task required exceptional flying skills and a specially designed ‘bouncing bomb’, but if the dams could be destroyed it would deal a massive blow to the Nazi war machine.
We're proud to feature these memorable editions which have been personally signed by veterans who took part:

Gerald uses his undeniable skills to recreate the attack on the Möhne Dam as Mick Martin's Lancaster pulls away, his 'Upkeep' bomb exploding behind him sending a huge plume of water into the air. Guy Gibson flies to his right drawing flak from the anti-aircraft guns on the towers.
Originally published over 15 years ago, prints in this famous edition are signed by at least FOUR highly-regarded Dambuster aircrew.
