| Band of Brothers by Robert Taylor. The mighty Lancaster, the mainstay of RAF Bomber Command, crewed by volunteers from Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Rhodesia, South Africa, and many other nations opposed to Nazi rule, flew day and night sorties whenever there was a chance of reaching the target. Their unflinching courage, and selfless devotion to duty paved the way for the D-Day invasion, and the ultimate liberation of Nazi occupied Europe. Embellished with Goerings infamous quotation No Enemy Plane Will Fly Over The Reich Territory, S for Sugar took her bombs to Berlin, Hamburg, Schweinfurt, Bremen, Hanover, Wurzburg, Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, and other prime targets, flying the second greatest number of operational sorties of any bomber in the Command. Time and again Sugar brought her crew home, often limping back riddled with flak and bullet holes, occasionally on three engines, and once all the way back from the German capital with a badly damaged wing following a mid-air collision over the target. Robert Taylors emotive painting shows S for Sugar on the morning of 27th April, 1944 after her 95th sortie - a raid on the ball-bearing factory at Schweinfurt. As the battle-scarred bomber taxies in at RAF Waddington, other 467 Squadron Lancasters follow, heading for their dispersal points. Already the weary crews begin their informal debriefing. By the wars end this trusty bomber had completed no fewer than 137 operations over enemy territory, bringing her crew home every time. Now magnificently restored to her former glory, S for Sugar resides in the RAF Museum at Hendon, providing a lasting tribute to the gallant men of RAF Bomber Command. The famous aircraft was typical of, and ultimately came to symbolise, the men and machines of Royal Air Force Bomber Command. Flying initially with 83 Squadron Pathfinder Force, then 467 Squadron RAAF, Avro Lancaster serial number R5868, call sign S for Sugar, took part in almost every major attack on Germany between the summer of 1942 and the end of hostilities. With the life expectancy of a new Lancaster being just a few months, it was a miracle she survived the war. RAF Aircrew Edition. Signed limited edition of 400 prints.

One Hundred Up! by Simon Atack
Whichever way one looks at it, the Avro Lancaster became the
backbone, indeed the heart and soul of RAF Bomber Command during the
arduous air war of World Wart II. Following its introduction in mid
1942, the mighty "Lanc" took part in almost every night
bombing raid on Europe, and some of the most daring missions of the war:
the sinking of the Tirpitz, the destruction of the missile sites at
Peenemunde, and perhaps most famous of all, the legendary raid on the
Möhne and Eder Dams in 1943. In a salute to the bomber crews of World War II, Simon Atack has
painted one of RAF Bomber Command's most famous Lancasters. With
an 8000lb "cookie" blockbuster bomb tucked into her bomb bay,
RAAF skipper T N Scholefield pilots the 467 Squadron Lancaster "S
for Sugar" out on her 100th mission on May 11th 1944. Embellished
with a bomb symbol painted on her fuselage signifying each raid
completed, and the infamous Goering quotation "No enemy plane will
ever fly over the Reich Territory", the mighty Lancaster leads a
formation bound for Germany. In total she completed 137 bombing raids.
Today, beautifully restored, she proudly rests in the RAF Bomber Command
Museum at Hendon, London.
