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.

ESCAPE FROM NUREMBERG
A pair of badly shot-up Lancasters from 97 Squadron battle their way back to base across the North Sea, their weary crews thankful to have survived a raid on Nuremberg which turned out to be Bomber Command's heaviest loss in a single night, 30 / 31 March 1944.

ESCORT TO THE REICH
Providing top cover escort, P-51 'Miss Helen' peels away across the high squadron of Fortresses of the 384th Bomb Group, part of a large force en-route to attack enemy railway marshalling yards during the final weeks of the war, 17 April 1945.

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.
