Anthony Saunders’ Lucky Jane portrays Lancaster B.III JB138 “Just Jane” of No. 61 Squadron returning from a raid on Stettin in January 1944.
During the mission the Lancaster was attacked by an Me 210 night fighter. Its gunners shot down the attacking aircraft, but “Just Jane” was badly damaged and Wing Commander Stidolph had to nurse the bomber back across the North Sea.
The original product record describes the Lancaster reaching the English coast with damage to its fuselage, wings and fin and one engine feathered, before descending towards an emergency landing at RAF Matlaske after approximately ten hours in the air.
“Just Jane” went on to complete 123 operational sorties with No. 61 Squadron. Each print is signed by Anthony Saunders.
