On 18th February 1944 Mosquitoes of 487 Squadron (New Zealand),
464 Squadron (Australian) and 21 Squadron took off from R.A.F.
Hunsdon. Target – the prison at Amiens, France. In this
picture having approached the prison at a height of just 10 feet,
Pilot Officer Maxwell Sparks and Navigator Arthur Dunlop dropped
their bombs before climbing and barely clearing the prison rooftop.
Every print is signed by Maxwell Sparks and Arthur Dunlop –
the two men depicted in this aircraft. |
