ACE OF ACES GICLÉE CANVAS PROOF
One of Robert Taylor's most iconic paintings - Ace of Aces features Hartmann leading a Schwarm of Bf109s from JG52 as they begin their attack. Originally published in 1988, many aviation art collectors will have never seen this stunning image, so the Military Gallery is delighted to announce that it is the latest to be added to the highly celebrated series of Studio Proofs on canvas.

EAGLES WINGS
Richard Taylor's superb masterwork portrays the iconic Bf109 at a time when this remarkable fighter reigned supreme - the summer of 1940. With Poland long crushed and the Battle of France now over, the Battle of Britain has begun. Yet amidst the fury of war, Richard has once again managed to convey the tranquillity of the French countryside as a pair of Bf109s prepare to touch down at a forward airfield.

TOP BOUNCE
Flight Lieutenant Don Kingaby and the pilots of 64 Squadron dive to attack
a group of Fw190s that have been spotted about 2,000ft below them near Boulogne,
30 July 1942. The ensuing dogfight was the first-ever encounter between
the new Mk.IX Spitfire and the Fw190.

PACIFIC GLORY
Anthony Saunders' stunning painting graphically recalls a moment during the Allied fight-back. On 5 October 1943, ten months after the island had fallen to the Japanese, American naval aircraft raided Wake, one of many such operations carried out by the US Navy and Marines. At the forefront of the attack was Lt. Cmdr. Edward 'Butch' O'Hare, the US Navy's first Ace and first Naval recipient of the Medal of Honor. Throwing his F6F Hellcat into a furious dogfight, he engages Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zeroes based on the island and in the process adds two more victories to his tally. Under O'Hare's experienced guidance his young wingman, Lt. Alex Vraciu, claimed his first kill, and would later become one of the foremost Aces in the US Navy with 19 victories.

DAMBUSTERS - ?GONER 58A'
Robert Taylor's skill and artistry reflects his intimate and authentic knowledge of the events that took place on that epic, moonlit night in May 1943. Over the past four decades he has enjoyed the company of almost every man to survive Operation Chastise, has listened to their stories first-hand, and counted many of them as friends. The knowledge acquired, and the friendships gained have, without doubt, given Robert an unparalleled insight into the legendary Dambusters.
