This is the unique original Mixed Media art by Neville Dear.

Dramatic World War II action as a German Junkers 88 strafes a British lifeboat after having previously wrecked the lightship that the crew had manned. This wonderful art graced a true story by a member of the crew that survived the attack.

It was published in Look and Learn's sister magazine Ranger, 29th January 1966. Please note that the art board was once folded leaving a vertical crease down the centre. This has been re-enforced and is reflected in the asking price.
