A UNIQUE ONE OFF, AMAZING PIECE OF WW2 MEMORABILIA. Nicolas Trudgian – aviation, transport and landscape artist. It is said that we are fashioned by our earliest influences so it's little surprise that an artist destined to become well known in the field of military and transport art should grow up in a city like Plymouth, England. Guy Gibson led the first attack on the Möhne Dam as part of Operation Chastise on the night of May 16-17, 1943, releasing Barnes Wallis's 'bouncing bomb' to breach the dam. His leadership and repeated, dangerous manoeuvres to draw enemy fire, along with the successful breaching of the dam and the Eder Dam, earned him the Victoria Cross. Good condition.
