OPERATION MILLENNIUM - Original Pencil Drawing
by Richard Taylor
On the night of 30 / 31 May 1942 RAF Bomber Command, mustering every available aircraft that it could, conducted the first ‘one thousand bomber’ raid in history. The target was Cologne.
Internationally celebrated for his exceptional drawing skills, artist Richard Taylor has provided us with OPERATION MILLENNIUM, a stunning new piece depicting the composite make-up of aircraft types participating in that historic raid.
