about this piece
The swaggering figure of the Reichsmarschall swept imperiously into the Air Ministry on BerlinĘs Wilhemstrasse, his jewel-encrusted baton and extravagant uniform as flamboyant as ever. This was Saturday, 30 January 1943, the tenth Anniversary of the Nazi Party coming to power, and Goering was about to deliver the main speech in tribute to the Party and its leader, the Fuhrer - Adolf Hitler.
The Royal Air Force had other plans for the anniversary. In stark defiance of the imagined air security safeguarding Berlin, brave pilots of 105 and 139 Sqn's took to the air in de Havilland Mosquito's, on course for Germany. Their mission: RAF Bomber CommandĘs first daylight raid on Berlin!

Anthony Saunders dramatic painting pays tribute to this pivotal moment in the war. His masterful brush brings the scene into vibrant, spectacular life with painstaking attention to detail, capturing the Mosquito B.Mk.IVs of 105 Sqn departing the target area, following their successful strike on the Haus des Rundfunk.
Importantly the Military Gallery has managed to trace no less than three highly distinguished Mosquito crew who flew many of those dangerous missions to Berlin, and that they have personally signed every print in the release.
Flight Lieutenant KEN TEMPEST DFC
He flew over 40 missions as a Navigator on Mosquito's, more than 20 of them to Berlin.
Flight Lieutenant COLIN BELL DFC AFC
Completed 50 operations as a Mosquito Pilot, including 13 missions to Berlin.
Flight Lieutenant GEORGE DUNN DFC
A Pilot, he flew 30 operations in Halifaxes and then 14 missions as a Pathfinder in Mosquito's to Berlin in Mosquito's.
