Trainbusters by Nicolas Trudgian. (B)
DHM2452B. Trainbusters by Nicolas Trudgian. So versatile was the Mosquito that is performed in every role allotted to the R.A.F. and R.C.A.F. during World War II. Made almost entirely of wood, and powered by two hefty Merlin engines, it was the fastest piston engined aircraft of the war. Seen in its intruder configuration, Mosquitos of 418 Squadron, R.C.A.F. led by Charlie Krause, make a devastating high speed low-level attack on railroad marshalling yards in northern France during the winter of 1944. Signed by Flight Lieutenant Charles A Krause,
Flight Lieutenant Ray Harington
and
Warrant Officer Bert Winwood. Harington / Winwood Signature edition of 50 prints (Nos 251 - 300) from the signed limited edition of 800 prints. Paper size 16 inches x 14 inches (41cm x 36cm)
