Bomber Crew, by Stella Bowen, 1944, oil on canvas, 86.1 x 63.3 cm. This well-known painting depicts a crew of No. 460 Squadron RAAF, serving as part of RAF Bomber Command. Bowen was stationed at Binbrook in Lincolnshire where the Squadron was based, and began making pencil sketches of this crew of six Australians and one Englishman on 27 April 1944. The following day they were reported missing. She finished the painting in her London studio—she later wrote it was 'like painting ghosts’. AWM ART26265
