Items in this pack : Item #1 - Click to view individual item DHM2594. Moonlight by Gerald Coulson. Flying secret agents in and out of occupied France, transporting arms and radio equipment to the Resistance, and collecting downed airmen from behind enemy lines, was one of the most hazardous flying operations of World War II. These cloak and dagger sorties, always conducted at night by the light of the moon, required a cool head and inordinate flying and navigational skills - a duty performed courageously by the pilots of RAF Special Duty Squadrons. Due to their clandestine nature, the true magnitude of their operations only became fully appreciated when the war was over. Signatories: Flt Lt Peter Arkell (deceased). Signed limited edition of 350 prints. Print paper size 19 inches x 16 inches (48cm x 41cm)
Item #2 - Click to view individual item DHM2545. Stealth 1944 by Steve Gibbs. Little attention is given to the role played by agents and resistance workers in the success of the D-Day landings. Inspired by the stories of one such agent, this picture depicts him being lifted from a field near Paris in May 1944 and returned to England. The Lysander will fly at tree-top level all the way home and eventually land at Tempsford in Bedfordshire, England. After a thorough briefing the Lysander will return to occupied France to co-ordinate sabotage against the transport network and disruption of communications to hamper the enemy efforts to bring reinforcements against the landing grounds and beaches. Limited edition of 500 prints. Image size 11 inches x 16 inches (28cm x 41cm)
