THE FLYING CIRCUS
In his stunning graphite work Richard Taylor brilliantly recreates a scene at an airfield in Flanders shortly before the German Spring Offensive of 1918. Flying his distinctive, highly-recognisable red-painted Fokker Dr.1 tri-plane, Richthofen leads his men away from their makeshift base towards the British lines. As they prowl the skies above the Front an encounter with the RFC will surely happen and the pilots of the 'Flying Circus' will once again be wheeling and turning in yet another death-defying cauldron of one-on-one, close-combat dog-fights.
