Air Armada - The Hardest Days

Robert Taylor’s magnificent masterwork, Air Armada, recreates
a moment on that day as Heinz Bär, the Luftwaffe’s top-scoring
NCO Ace of the Battle of Britain and one of the greatest Aces
in history, climbs away from his airfield near Calais with the
other pilots of 1./JG51 to escort the Do17s of KG76 for yet another
deadly attack on the RAF. Away in the distance, Me110s from
EPRG 210 also prepare to join the epic encounters that lie ahead.

Where Eagles Gathered

Robert Taylor's new volume of Air Combat Paintings featuring an
exclusive Limited Edition Print. On 5 March 1944 the B-24 bombers
of the 448th Bomb Group took off from England, their mission - to
destroy the Luftwaffe facilities at Limoges aerodrome in western
France. But waiting for them were the Bf-109s of JG2, ready to rip
into the attacking force at the first opportunity. Luckily for the bomber
crews they had one of the finest fighter escorts in the Mighty Eighth,
Don Blakeslee’s 4th Fighter Group – 'The Eagles'. As a straggling
B-24 comes under attack and its inner starboard engine starts to trail
smoke, Steve Pisanos, one of the Fourth’s most deadly Aces, and fellow
P-51B pilots quickly arrive on the scene to break up the attack. The
Liberator now has a chance to get home.

Each print is accompanied by a special edition copy of the Vol V book
with the USAAF cover, numbered and personally signed by Robert Taylor
and presented in a gold embossed slip case. All of the prints of WHERE
THE EAGLES GATHERED are signed by two oustanding Fighter Pilots
from this aerial conflict.

Opening Sky

With the morning sun glinting on their fuselages, P-51 Mustangs
of the 78th Fighter Group cross the Dutch coastline far below, heading
back towards their base at Duxford, England at the end of a long sweep
east of the Rhine crossing in Spring 1945. The final months of the war
in Europe lie ahead, and for the P-51 pilots the victory is within sight.
Robert Taylor’s visually poetic masterpiece, Opening Sky, pays tribute
to the American P-51 Mustang fighter pilots who flew and fought for
freedom during World War II, and is the third in his highly successful
Tribute Series. It follows the release of his popular RAF Hurricane tribute,
Height and Sun; and Luftwaffe Me109 tribute Dawn Eagles Rising.

Phantom Fury

The biggest, fastest, most powerful fighter of its day, the McDonnell
Phantom was an awesome war machine that came to dominate aerial
combat for over two decades. It may have been the size of many World
War II bombers but it could out-perform anything that crossed its path;
it was quicker, could turn faster, was better equipped with electronics,
carried more ordnance than anything comparable, and it had an unbelievable
rate of climb. The F-4 Phantom was the benchmark against which every
fighter in the world came to be judged; it was simply the best. Robert
Taylor’s powerful new painting shows Steve Ritchie, first into action,
flying his lead F-4D Phantom through a hail of deadly enemy flak as he
exits the target area after a typical FAST FAC mission on enemy
installations in North Vietnam, 1972. Behind him a vast trail of
devastation marks the mission’s progress, as his fellow Phantom
crews continue to wreak havoc with their heavy ordnance, the target
area exploding in a series of mighty detonations.

Out of Night - First To Go In

Silently out of the night they came. With flaps deployed, three timber
and plywood Horsa gliders swept swiftly down through the night skies,
rapidly closing with their objective – Pegasus Bridge over the Caen
Canal. On board, with tension etched deep into their blackened faces,
men from the Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, part
of the British 6th Airborne Division, braced themselves for landing.
They, and sappers from the Royal Engineers, were about to become the
first fighting force to land in France on D-Day. They were about to make
history. This new graphite collectors edition is personally signed by
veterans who fought in the epic encounter at Pegasus Bridge, assaulted
the beaches and one of the six Halifax pilots who towed the gliders into
action on that momentous night.

Dambusters - Inbound to Target

The crews of 617 Squadron that took part in the epic Dambusters raid
on the night of 16/17 May 1943 were among the finest in the RAF. They
were the elite of Bomber Command, and when they left RAF Scampton
that night, the skills of their pilots – some of the finest of the Second
World War, would be tested to the limit. In this outstanding new work
Flight Lieutenant ‘Mick’ Martin, in company with Flight Lieutenant
John Hopgood in the distance, follows one of the many canals of Holland,
wingtips barely missing the sails of the windmills, en-route to the Möhne Dam.
Delicately crafted in a subtle, unique blend of pencil and paint, Robert's latest
masterpiece is a truly stunning and highly individual rendition of this most
famous mission. Printed on the latest precision press, each of these exclusive
limited edition prints is a true and faithful reproduction of his masterful original.

Milne Bay - The Turning Point

 

The Battle for Milne Bay in New Guinea was a story of true grit, determination,
and valour; it was the moment when the Imperial Japanese Army tasted defeat
on land for the first time in nearly three centuries. In the space of two weeks,
the Japanese attempt to capture Milne Bay was halted, and any ambitions they
might have held to invade Australia, thwarted. And that victory was due in no
small part to the Kittyhawks of 75 and 76 Squadrons RAAF. Robert Taylor’s
powerful new painting depicts Kittyhawks from 75 and & 76 Squadrons RAAF,
returning to No 1 Strip after attacking Japanese positions during the Battle
for Milne Bay. Under the starboard wing of the lead aircraft, ‘Polly’, the smoke
of action is clearly visible as the Japanese press from their landing site, along
the coast towards the airstrip. ‘Polly’, now beautifully restored, resides in the
Australian War Memorial Museum in Canberra, a tribute to the men and
machines who stopped the Japanese in New Guinea.

Prints are signed by RAAF veterans who flew and fought in Kitty-hawks with
75 and 76 squadrons at the Battle for Milne Bay.

550 Limited Edition (print numbers 151 – 550) ~ $320

Open Assault

The Junkers Ju87 Sturzkampfbomber, known to the British simply as the
Stuka, had already acquired a deadly reputation across Europe, its siren
screaming as the ungainly dive-bomber struck terror into the hearts of
those below. In 1940 its pilots crossed the Channel with their grim-looking
aircraft to terrorise the southern towns and ports of England. Robert Taylor’s
memorable painting ‘Open Assault’, depicts Hurricanes of 501 Squadron
attacking a force of Ju87 Stukas as they dive-bomb naval vessels and
installations in the port of Dover on 29 July 1940. High explosive bombs
detonate within the sheltered anchorage as escorting Bf109s from JG51
race in to protect their lumbering charges. Four Stukas and two Me109s
are despatched, for the loss of just one RAF aircraft.

Every print in the Limited Edition has been signed by one of the last surviving
Luftwaffe Stuka pilots from the war and two pilots that flew Hurricanes in the
Battle of Britain.

The Wolfpack

On 26 November, 1943, the P-47s of the 56th Fighter Group were tasked to escort B-24
Liberators of the 392nd Bomb Group on a dangerous mission to attack the heavily
defended industrial and dockyard facilities in the German port of Bremen. Zemke
knew the Luftwaffe would be waiting for them as they approached the target, and they
were – in force! It was to become a day of high drama. With the Luftwaffe throwing
all the fighters they could muster at the American heavy bombers,a massive aerial
battle ensued. In the running dogfights high over Bremen, the “Wolfpack” claimed
their most successful action of the war with 23 confirmed kills, 3 probables, and 9
damaged, creating an all-time record in the European Theatre. The 392nd’s B-24
Liberators could not have been in safer hands on that eventful day.

Every print in Robert Taylor’s new Limited Edition has been signed by THREE highly
respected 56th Fighter Group fighter pilots, including the legendary Ace, ‘Bud’ Mahurin.

young American pilots perhaps taking a brief moment to marvel at
the myriad colours of the late evening sun –welcome relief from the

Closing the Gap

As Typhoon Mk1b fighter-bombers of 247 Squadron exit the target
area near Falaise at full throttle, the havoc wreaked in their wake
bears witness to the devastation of their powerful rockets. Fuel
and ammunition from the retreating German column explode with
shattering detonations, the savagery of the attack demoralising
the enemy into stunned oblivion. The Typhoons will hurtle back
to base to re-arm and hastily re-fuel, ready for yet another withering
strike on the encircled Wehrmacht columns. This stunning new
rendition from the the worlds premier aviation artist pays tribute
to the brave young RAF fighter pilots of the twenty squadrons of
rocket-firing Hawker Typhoons who flew those perilous ground
attacks during the Battle of Normandy.

Rabul - Fly for your Life

For their outstanding contribution to the war in the South Pacific,
the 'Black Sheep' were awarded one of only two Presidential Unit
Citations accorded to Marine Corps squadrons during the war in
the Pacific. With typical mastery, Robert Taylor has brought to life
an encounter over Rabaul in late December 1943, paying tribute to
one of the US Marine Corps most famous fighter squadrons, and its
outstanding leader. With the Japanese airbase at Rabaul visible in
the distance, 'Pappy' Boyington and his fellow pilots of VMF-214
tear into a large formation of Japanese Zekes and a series of deadly
dogfights have started, one Zeke already fallen victim to their guns.

Vital Support

Crucial to every squadron in the RAF were the unsung heroes of
World War II - the ground crew. Without the vital support of these
dedicated men who refuelled the aircraft, rearmed them, maintained
them and kept them flying, the pilots and aircrew would, quite simply,
never have got into the air. Robert Taylor's drawing VITAL SUPPORT,
the latest in his new Graphite Portfolio Series, shows ground crew
bombing up a Mosquito of RAF Bomber Command.

200 Limited Edition with 10 signatures  ~ $320

Fury of Assault

When Luftwaffe bombers first appeared in force in the night skies over London
in September 1940 they heralded the beginning of The Blitz - the most sustained
period of concentrated bombing aimed at British cities during World War II.
Robert Taylor’s evocative painting brings to life the frightening scenario
of the Luftwaffe’s night bombing campaign. It is December 1941, and London is
once again under concentrated attack. With fires raging below, the armada of
German bombers is clearly visible in the night sky as they sweep across the city.
Shimmering in the glow of destruction, a lone Hurricane night-fighter from
85 Squadron, based at nearby Gravesend, engages Heinkel 111s of KG55 in a
desperate attempt to break up the formations.

Schweinfurt -  The Second Mission

Briefing at 0500 hours on the morning of 14 October 1943 brought the crews
of the 92nd Bomb Group news they didn’t want to hear: “It’s Schweinfurt again!”
The same message was being repeated in USAAF bomb group briefing rooms all
over eastern England in the early hours of what was to become forever known as
“Black Thursday”. Robert Taylor’s majestic new painting shows Colonel Budd

High Cost

A tribute to the men who flew the Lancaster. The crews of
Bomber Command faced one of the most daunting tasks, calling
for courage sustained night after night, in conditions of
desperate danger and discomfort. They did not fail us and
55,573 paid the supreme sacrifice”.  In his tribute to
“The Many”, Robert Taylor’s evocative painting HIGH COST
recreates a typical scene encountered by many Royal Air Force
bomber squadrons on raids over enemy occupied territory:
Having already survived 30 successful operational sorties,
on 9 February 1945 Lancaster PG-G of 619 Squadron has
been intercepted by Luftwaffe night-fighters during a raid
over Stettin Bay.

as B17 Fortresses from the 483rd Bomb Group manoeuvre into
formation at the start of another long and dangerous mission over
Germany, Oct 1944. A welcome sight for the Fortress crews, the
renowned all-black Tuskegee pilots were credited for never losing
an escorted bomber to enemy aircraft.

Along with artist Robert Taylor each print is also personally signed

Spitfires Over St. Michael's Mount

In this picture Robert has chosen to show a Spitfire in the Battle of Britain
colours of No 41 Squadron for his romantic portrayal of a Spitfire over
St Michael’s Mount, just off the coast of Cornwall – where the southwest
corner of the British Isles meets the mighty Atlantic. This famous and
historic landmark dating back to the Iron Age is steeped in folklore and
legend. The castle of St. Michael's Mount, perched atop a great granite
rock that rises majestically out of the sea in Mount's Bay, for centuries
made a tempting site for fighting forces.

Savage Skies

The weather on the morning of 31 December, 1944 was already unpleasant.
In the Ardennes, hard-pressed German troops were battling Allied ground
forces advancing through several inches of snow. Above, darkening skies
heralded the arrival of more snow. At 10.45am, in deteriorating weather,
a battle formation of 30 Fw190D fighters climbed out of Varrelbusch and
headed south over the snowcovered landscape. Under the command of 12./JG54
Staffelkapitan, Oblt. Hans Dortenmann, and initially tasked to provide air
cover to their beleaguered comrades below, the group was re-assigned to
intercept enemy aircraft in the region of Limburg almost immediately the
pilots were airborne. Flying south they ran directly into the oncoming weather,
and with visibility dangerously reduced, Dortenmann elected to climb through
the solid cloud into clear air. As the Fw190s broke cloud above the area of Koblenz
they sighted a formation of nine 2nd Air Division B-24 Liberators and formed up
for an attack. Some 6000 feet above, top-cover P-51 Mustangs had watched the
Fw190s climbing through the banks of clouds, and turned 180 degrees to position
behind the Luftwaffe fighters. Diving in from their height advantage, the Mustang
pilots entered the fray and within seconds the sky was filled with swirling dogfights.
