The returned aircrew of a Royal Air Force De Havilland Mosquito discuss
the latest reconnaissance with the Squadron Intelligence Officer.
During the highly active period 1943-1944, Mosquito crews were known to
fly up to three sorties in twenty-four hours. The German capital was attacked
with such regularity, the inhabitants named the high speed bomber ‘The
Berlin Express’.
This detailed scene is available as a limited edition of 450 prints,
Signed by the late Air Marshal Sir Ivor Broom KCB CBE DSO DFC**
AFC and Wing Commander Joe Singleton DSO DFC AFC.
Sir Ivor Broom began his operational career flying Blenheims
as a Sgt Pilot. He amassed a total of 103 bombing raids in the Blenheim
and the Mosquito, 22 of which were against the heavily defended capital
Berlin. By the end of hostilities, Sir Ivor Broom had risen to the rank
of Wing Commander. He became Air Marshal after the war and received his
knighthood in 1975.
Wing Commander Joe Singleton flew the Mosquito in both
the offensive and defensive role. During the latter, his more notable
engagements included the downing of three JU88’s in a matter of
minutes. The three aircraft were pathfinders for a much larger force heading
for the city of Hull. The interception of these three aircraft effectively
put an end to the success of the enemy raid.
