EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative drawing depicts the pivotal moment in the history of the Second World War when the Royal Air Force (RAF) Bombers, led by Squadron Leader Guy Gibson and his renowned squadron known as The Dambusters, successfully breached the Mohne Dam in Westphalia, Germany, on the night of 16th May 1943. The illustration captures the immense explosion that marked the end of the dam and the significant impact it had on the war effort. On the left side of the picture, the Lancaster bomber flown by Squadron Leader Gibson is shown flying over German anti-aircraft positions. Gibson's strategic maneuver was crucial in distracting the enemy's attention from the other aircraft in his squadron, allowing them to carry out their mission with greater success. The Mohne Dam, a major hydroelectric power station and a vital source of water for the German industrial heartland, was a significant target for the Allies. The breaching of the dam caused extensive flooding, disrupting the German war machine and boosting morale among the Allied forces. This historical illustration provides a powerful visual representation of the mighty explosion that marked the end of the Mohne Dam, a turning point in the Second World War. The bravery and strategic thinking of the RAF Bombers, led by the visionary leadership of Guy Gibson, are immortalized in this iconic image.
