Lancasters of No. 83 Squadron Pathfinder Force as they climb out over the east coast of England enroute for Peenemunde on the warm summer evening of 17th August, 1943. Brilliantly navigated in darkness right over the target, the masterbomber?s aircraft, seen in the forefront made nine dangerous passes over the target, directing operations. During the next 55 minutes, Hitler?s secret weapon establishment was almost totally destroyed by the bomber crews that followed his directions. Commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the mighty Lancaster bomber, its vital role in World War II, and the gallant crews that flew them. Comes with Certificate of Authenticity.
