They Landed By Moonlight by Robert Taylor
Robert Taylor captures to perfection the secret world of the Special Operations pilot with his atmospheric painting, "They Landed By Moonlight". Packed with tension, he recreates the high drama of a typical rendezvous as a pilot from No. 161b Squadron based at Tangmere, readies his aircraft for take-off in a remote field deep inside occupied France. Clutching a Luger in one hand, he completes pre-take-off checks as three passengers are spirited away by an armed member of the French Resistance. It is July 1943.
