Artist's Description
The sight of Spitfires escorting Lancasters - and in daylight - might seem highly unusual but operations like this were part of the massive Allied air effort against German forces after D-Day in 1944.
From Leo McInstrey's book Lancaster: " ... as the number of daylight raids increased, the Lancasters received fighter cover from the RAF for the first time in the war. 'The Spitfires were a very welcome sight and would accompany you to the target,' said Bob Knights of 617 Squadron. 'They would hang around and see you were all right. ...'. Bomb aimer Campbell Muirhead wrote in his diary ... that there had not been any enemy action in the air: 'no wonder with all those Spits milling around the sunny, summer sky desperate for a fight'."
