about this piece
The Dambusters Portfolio
A pair of stunning commemorative limited edition prints by Anthony Saunders to commemorate the most audacious and daring bombing raid by RAF Aircrews during World War II.
'With one single blow the RAF has precipitated what may prove to be the greatest industrial disaster yet inflicted on Germany in this war. A force of Lancasters, loaded with mines and with crews specially trained for the task, early yesterday morning attacked and destroyed the great dams on the Mohne and Sorpe rivers, tributaries of the Ruhr, and also the dam on the Eder river. Today walls of water sweeping down the Ruhr and Eder valleys are carrying everything before them.'
-- The Daily Telegraph, London -- Tuesday, May 18, 1943
Dambusters
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 May 16/17th, 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.
The following Dambuster veterans who were on the crew that actually breached the Eder Dam have signed every print: Flight Sergeant Ray Grayston RAF and Flight Sergeant Fred Sutherland RCAF.
En-Route
Flying at altitudes as low as fifty feet, Lancasters of 617 Squadron follow the Dutch canals en-route to Germany -- their target, the mighty Dams of the Ruhr -- on the night of May 16/17, 1943. At such low level the pilots of many of the specially modified Lancasters found their flying skills tested to the extreme as they were forced to take violent evasive actions when they encountered flak, large electricity pylons and tall trees, but several of the gunners in the crews still managed to shoot up and damage a number of trains on the way.
Each copy of En-Route is individually signed by two eminent Dambuster veterans, Squadron Leader George Johnson DFM, RAF and Flight Sergeant Grant S. McDonald RCAF.
This print is also available as a portfolio pair with Dambusters by Anthony Saunders.
