A powerful tribute to the men who carried out one of the most famous bombing missions in history
DAMBUSTERS - BREACHING THE EDER DAM
By Robert Taylor
Lancaster AJ-N scores a direct hit on the Eder Dam with its bouncing bomb during the famous Dambusters raid on the night of 16/17 May 1943. Pilot Officer Les Knight and Flight Engineer Ray Grayston fight the controls to clear the dam, combining their physical strength to haul the lumbering Lancaster up and over the dam and clear the high ground that lies ahead. With a tremendous explosion the Eder Dam collapsed before their eyes. Below and behind them, the second of Germany’s mighty western dams lies finally breached.
Robert Taylor’s sensational painting vividly shows the dramatic moment of impact.
