NICOLSON VC
Since 1975 the Military Gallery, Richard's exclusive publisher, has been signing with and collecting original autographs of the very men who took part in the battle. This is however, the very first time the Military Gallery have ever offered Nicolson's signature. He has become possibly the most famous of all pilots to take part in the Battle of Britain and having passed away in May 1945, it's easy to understand why his autograph is so hard to come by and this quantity has taken a number of years to source.

CLOUD DANCERS
Choosing the legendary figure of Lt. Joe Peterburs to represent all the Eighth's fighter pilots, Richard Taylor has crafted another of his by now famous drawings. Entitled 'Cloud Dancers' he depicts Joe's aircraft amongst other P-51s from the 20th Fighter Group as they climb to gain altitude at the start of a typical escort mission. For Joe, however, this was his last; having just shot down an Me262 jet flown by Luftwaffe Ace Walter Schuck, he'd then destroyed five more aircraft in a strafing attack, but his P-51 was hit by groundfire. Lady luck was on his side, however, and he survived; baling out and taken prisoner he managed to escape to join a company of Russian troops for the final days of the war.

up of aircraft types participating in that
historic raid. Reproduced in restricted
quantities as a fine art Limited Edition

STORMBIRDS IN BAVARIA
Richard Taylor's impressive piece titled 'Stormbirds in Bavaria' depicts two of the last working Me262 jet fighter-bombers from II./KG54 as they emerge from hiding within the trees and are prepared for one of their final missions of the war. The roar of jet engines, however, will soon be heard no more. Final surrender is near and tranquillity will once again descend on this beautiful Alpine pasture.
