Front:
In this dramatic rendering, titled Last Wave In, by well known aviation artist Don Connolly, Lancaster II, OW-D of 426 Squadron RCAF, piloted by Bill Swetman, begins its bombing run on the Peenemunde V-2 missile development site on 17/18 August 1943.

Back: This shot of de Havilland D.H. 80A Puss Moth, CF-AVC, from a slide in the collection of the late John Caron, was probably taken at the Oshawa airport sometime in the 1950s.
