This print captures a heart-stopping moment during the evacuation of British troops from Norway in May 1940. The British Royal Navy aircraft carrier finds itself under attack by an enemy bomber aircraft, as tension fills the air. In this narrow escape, the fate of countless lives hangs in the balance. Amidst chaos and danger, brave British soldiers stationed on deck swiftly respond to the German bombing with unwavering determination. Armed with anti-aircraft guns, they valiantly defend their ship against this relentless assault from above. Their resolute spirit shines through as they stand united in the face of adversity.
