Shining the Way (Mosquito) by Ivan Berryman
One of the artists most haunting paintings, a Mosquito B.IX of the
Light Night Striking Force, PFF, banks away from the target zone having
released a cluster of green "Christmas tree" marker flares
to light the way for the second wave of approaching bombers. Frought
with enormous difficulties and dangers, perhaps the most surprising
aspect of the PFF is that it was made up almost entirely of volunteers
and was widely regarded as the elite within Bomber Command. A fact made
even more staggering by the slim chances of any aircrew completing the
sixty sorties tour of operations that was asked of them. Nevertheless,
the PFF was never short of volunteers and their dedication and courage
is celebrated in this stunning print.
The Berlin Express by Stuart Brown During the climactic phases of WWII, the powerful De Haviland Mosquito,
allowed aircrews to fly up to three sorties in twenty-four hours. The
German capital was attacked with such regularity the inhabitants
christened the high-speed bomber 'The Berlin Express'. Signed by Air Marshal Sir Ivor Broom and Wing Commander Joe Singleton.
Prelude to Peace by Ronald Wong Pathfinder Mosquitoes precede a main force of Lancaster bombers to
mark out targets zones in the Netherlands fro supply drops during
Operation Manna, in the final week of the war In 1945 German Occupation forces flooded areas of Holland to slow down
the advance of the Allied forces. This had a catastrophic impact on the
food supplies for the civilian population. Faced with defeat, the German
forces extended an amnesty to the Allies to drop food supplies to the
Dutch.
