In this picture having approached the prison at a height of just 10 feet, Pilot Officer Maxwell Sparks and Navigator Arthur Dunlop dropped their bombs before climbing and barely clearing the prison rooftop.
Every print is signed by Maxwell Sparks and Arthur Dunlop – the two men depicted in this aircraft.
