Far below them, Luftwaffe bombers attempt one of their final daylight raids on the capital.Published in 1990 as part of Robert Taylor’s "Golden Anniversary series" this iconic print has been sold out for many years and is extremely sought after on the secondary market, becoming increasingly difficult to find.
