'For Freedom' by Robert Taylor limited edition features Lancasters on final approach to their Lincolnshire airfield. The men who served so bravely in Bomber Command came not only from Britain but from all over the free world. Their unswerving courage, devotion to duty and the extraordinary contribution they made between 1939 and 1945 was beyond measure. In fact, without RAF Bomber Command, volunteers all, there would have been no final victory in Europe. It is therefore fitting that Robert Taylor has chosen the Lancaster in his moving limited edition, to represent all those who served in Bomber Command during World War 2. Read more below.
Depicted are the aircraft of 106 Squadron whose motto Pro Libertate - ‘For Freedom’ - not only gives title to the painting, but perhaps symbolises the driving force behind so many of these young men who faced such daunting odds.
Each limited edition print is signed by three highly regarded RAF Bomber Command veterans:
Squadron Leader Lawrence ‘Benny’ Goodman, pilot on Lancasters of 617 Sqn.
Squadron Leader Douglas Joss MBE, Rear Gunner on Lancasters of 626 Sqn.
W.O. Roy Briggs - Wireless Operator on Lancasters of 676 Sqn.
Price excludes £15 P&P to UK address.
