WHERE EAGLES SOAR
It's easy to see why the precise quality of Richard's drawings elevates him to one of the most gifted exponents of pencil work in the industry. Completed in a combination of graphite, wash and coloured highlights on antique buff paper in a style that has gained him recognition around the globe, the original drawing has now been faithfully reproduced as a high quality giclée fine art print on archival paper and is issued hand signed by the artist.

WINTER COMBAT
Richard Taylor's superb painting Winter Combat hints at the bitter fighting that lies ahead. A few months ago they had been fighting for their lives during the Battle of Britain but for now the snow-clad tranquility of an English winter brings a brief, but welcome, relief for the Mk.1 Hurricane pilots of 87 Squadron.

WINTER COMBAT - THE MASTERWORK DRAWING
The Battle of Britain may be over but the first snows of winter hint at the bitter fighting that still lies ahead as Squadron Leader Ian Gleed and the Mk.I Hurricanes of 87 Squadron head home to RAF Exeter.
|
WINTERS WINGS
Sure to be popular amongst collector's, especially given the limited quantities printed, every copy of Winter's Wings bears the true and originals autograph of three top P-51 Mustang fighter pilots who, although sadly no longer with us, represent the very best of the courageous men who flew and fought with the Eighth Air Force in the skies over Europe. These include the famous Ace depicted, Robin Olds, creating a historic collectors piece to be treasured.

WITTMANN - PANZER ACE
This extremely limited VETERAN'S EDITION offers staggering historical authenticity. With all components of the Collector's Edition, also included in the matting are two RARE and hard-to-come-by ORIGINAL autographs that have taken a number of years to source and collect - the famous tank commander depicted, Michael Wittmann, along with his reliable gunner, 'Bobby' Woll. Not only did Woll serve as best man at Wittmann's wedding, but he was also the first and only SS tank gunner of the war to be awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross.

WOLFPACK
P-47 Thunderbolts of the 56th Fighter Group - The Wolfpack - release their drop tanks as they prepare to engage enemy fighters low over the Rhine, November 1944.
The Wolfpack had more Aces and destroyed more enemy aircraft in air combat than any other fighter group in the Eighth Air Force.

WOUNDED WARRIOR
With its inner port engine shot out and smoking badly, B-17G Silver Meteor from the 390th Bomb Group had slowly dropped out of the bomber stream, seemingly easy prey for the Luftwaffe fighters who closed for the kill. But before they could do so, the P-51's of Bud Anderson and 'Kit' Carson of the 357th Fighter Group moved in and soon the attackers were driven off. With the two legendary Aces escorting them home to Framlington, the stricken bomber begins its descent and pilot Harry Seip and the crew of Silver Meteor would live to fight another day, July 1944.
