COMMEMORATING THE HEROIC AIRCREW WHO FLEW THE DE HAVILLAND MOSQUITO DURING WWWII
DANGEROUS COAST
By Robert TaylorLIMITED EDITION
Mosquitos from Coastal Command\'s Banff Strike Wing race through a deep-sided Norwegian fjord following a successful rocket strike against enemy coastal shipping. Operating in treacherous conditions, the crews of the Banff Strike Wing enjoyed spectacular success along this rugged, heavily defended mountainous coast, destroying thousands of tons of iron ore and other raw materials destined for Germany\'s industrial war machine.
The de Havilland Mosquito was arguably the finest multi-role combat aircraft of World War II and, remarkably, one of the few front-line aircraft constructed almost entirely of wood – few other warbirds were built for so many different duties. Among its countless roles it formed the core of Coastal Command’s legendary anti-shipping strike force, and it is this role that is the subject of Robert Taylor’s thrilling painting, paying tribute to the Mosquito crews of World War II.
A large force of Mosquitos from RAF Coastal Command’s Banff Strike Wing exit a deep-sided fjord along Norway’s rugged, heavily defended mountainous coast. In the distance, smoke and explosions reverberate from their successful rocket strike against enemy coastal shipping, destroying yet another cargo of iron ore destined for the furnaces of Germany’s industrial war machine. Above them P-51 Mustangs provide top cover support should any patrolling enemy fighters decide to make an appearance.
