CHECKING OUT
In this pair of eye-catching pieces, Anthony Saunders has chosen P-51s of the Mighty Eighth's 352nd Fighter Group to represent all those who flew Mustangs so heroically with the US 8th Air Force from England during WWII. In the first, Checking Out, the bad weather that has dogged the past few days is thankfully clearing, allowing the Group to begin their dispersal from Bodney to take part in an escort mission in early 1945. In the second, Beyond the Storm, the bad weather is, however, once again closing in as Captain Ray Littge, flying his P-51D Miss Helen, leads the 487th Fighter Squadron back home over the familiar Suffolk coastline in April 1945.

AWAITING THE CALL - Matted Collector's Piece

HOME AGAIN ENGLAND
In recognition of the role played by these two legendary aircraft and the men who flew them, Robert's striking piece Home Again England depicts a scene during those final few weeks of the war. A battle-weary Lancaster limps home along the Norfolk coast with its outer starboard engine feathered and out of action following one of Bomber Command's last daylight operations. Luckily a group of Mk.XIV Spitfires is on hand to provide close escort and will see the bomber safely back to base.

D-DAY - THE INVASION MAP

LOW HOLDING OVER THE SAN JACINTO GICLÉE CANVAS PROOF
Originally published as a Limited Edition print in 1988, Low Holding Over The San Jacinto remains one of Robert Taylor's most sought-after pieces. The image portrays a scene from August 1944 with Lieutenant (JG) George Bush as part of a four-plane formation of TBM Avengers from Torpedo Squadron 51 (VT-51) flying a low-holding pattern in preparation for landing aboard the carrier. The edition was personally signed by George H W Bush and, needless to say, copies of that original edition are extremely rare and highly sought-after.
Now, thanks to the latest high-definition technology, this wonderful image is available as part of Robert Taylor's hugely popular series of artist-signed giclée canvas proofs, creating the look and feel of the original painting.
