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. |
