HEADING OFF OMAHA
Keith's ability to capture the power and drama of a scene never fails to win the imagination and this dramatic piece is no exception. The artist's award-winning talent takes us to the sandy bluffs overlooking Omaha Beach shortly after D-Day. The foreshore that only days before had witnessed chaos and bloody carnage, is now abuzz with action as American armored forces disembark from their beached Tank Landing Ships and head inland to support colleagues heavily engaged in bitter fighting to dislodge German units in northern Normandy.

HEADLONG INTO THE CLASH
Luftwaffe fighters of JG300 and JG301 charge into a close formation of B-17s from the 390th Bomb Group heading for Magdeburg in northern Germany, during the huge allied offensive, 14 January 1945. Flt Lt Joe Peterburs along with other P-51s from the 20th Fighter Group, dives in to engage the enemy as the Bf109G of Lt Bruno Klostermann screams past in an attempt to penetrate the bomber formation.
During the many aerial encounters that day, the Luftwaffe sent up a force of some 200 fighters
but after a crushing defeat, suffered such heavy losses that they would never
challenge the Eighth Air Force in strength again.
This breath-taking edition, signed by iconic Luftwaffe and US Fighter Pilots, will undoubtedly rank as one of the pinnacles in Robert Taylor's long and distinguished career.

HEIGHT OF THE BATTLE - THE GICLEE STUDIO PROOF
Continuing his popular series of Giclée Studio Proofs on canvas, Robert Taylor portrays Squadron Leader 'Sailor' Malan DFC, Commanding Officer of 74 Squadron and one of the great Battle of Britain Aces, in his famous painting Height of the Battle. Having already made one diving attack into the force of Luftwaffe He111 bombers approaching London with their fighter escort, 'Sailor' peels his Spitfire over for a second attack. Another top Ace, Pilot Officer Harbourne Stephen DFC, is hard on his heels. Below them, typifying the scene as it was on the afternoon of Wednesday 11 September 1940, Mk.I Hurricanes from 17 and 56 Squadrons have already joined the fray.

in southern England, the mighty Hell Hawks head inland to attack and successfully suppress German positions in support of the American advance.

HELLCAT FURY
In this important new painting, his first featuring the
F6F Hellcat, Robert Taylor brings to life the scenario that was
crucial to Admiral Spruance's forceful drive through the Central
Pacific. The once feared Japanese base at Truk is being reduced
to a statistic of war. Hellcats of VF6 hurtle across the lagoon at
masthead height with guns blazing, creating havoc as they tear
into the enemy positions below. Seen in the foreground is the
F6F-3 of Lt. Alex Vracui, subsequently to become one of the
Navy's top guns. This exhilarating new work dramatically
conveys the awesome conditions endured day after day by the
pilots of the US Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific.
With prints signed by a host of US Navy Aces, including the first
F6F Hellcat Ace of World War II, Robert has created a limited
edition print that will take pride of place in many discerning
print collections.
