Signeret litografi - begrænset oplag. ”Gestapo Hunters”, underskrevet af
nogle af RAF’s dygtigste flyvere m.fl.

Ødelæggelsen af Gestapos hovedkvarter i Aarhus den 31.10.1944, rangerer som
et af de mest dristige og ambitiøse eksempler på de lavt flyvende togter udført af
RAF 2 Gruppe. Angrebet er blevet beskrevet som den mest succesfulde operation
af sin slags.

Gestapo Hunters er en ”limited-edition” i 450 eksemplarer. Med underskrifter fra syv flybesætninger sammen med Frits Tillisch, en af modstandsbevægelsens ledere, og kunstner Michael Steele-Morgan, en fhv. Mosquito Navigator.

Gestapo Hunters er enestående i at det var individuelt underskrevet i Storbritannien, Australien og Danmark og er det eneste tilgængelige print underskrevet af flybesætninger der deltog i dette dristige luftangreb.

Størrelse: 522 x 428mm, mat finish.
Leveres med et ægthedscertifikat og en liste over underskrivere.

Signed Limited-Edition Print - "Gestapo Hunters", signed by some of the RAF's skilled Mosquito aircrews and the leader of the Mid-Jutland Military Intelligence.

The destruction of the Gestapo's headquarters in Aarhus on Oct.31,1944 ranks
as one of the most daring and ambitious examples of the low-flying expeditions carried out by RAF 2 Group. The attack has been described as the most
successful operation of its kind.

Gestapo Hunters is a "limited edition" of just 450 signed examples. With
signatures from seven flight crews together with the leader of the resistance movement intelligence, Col. Frits Tillisch and artist Michael Steele-Morgan,
a former Mosquito Navigator.

Gestapo Hunters is unique in that it was individually signed in the UK, Australia
and Denmark and is the only available print signed by flight crews who participated
in this daring operation.

Size: 522 x 428mm, matt finish. Supplied with a
certificate of authenticity and a list of signatories.
