STRIKE AND RETURN (Secondary Market Copy)
by Robert Taylor

A CLASSIC ROBERT TAYLOR MASTERWORK LIMITED EDITION COMMEMORATING THE INDOMITABLE AIRCREWS OF RAF BOMBER COMMAND

True to their squadron motto “Strike and Return”, Avro Lancasters from 460 Squadron RAAF return to RAF Binbrook in Lincolnshire following a daylight raid over Germany in the late winter of 1944.

With the sun almost set, evening shadows lengthen on a magnificent winter landscape dusted with snow, as Lancaster J-Squared leads the mighty bombers as they descend in the fading light.
