ROBERT TAYLOR’S NEW TRIBUTE EDITION COMMEMORATING THIS HEROIC BAND OF YOUNG AMERICAN VOLUNTEER PILOTS

Robert Taylor’s magnificent new painting features Spitfire Vbs of 71 Squadron RAF as they return to their base at North Weald, September 1941, the young American pilots perhaps taking a brief moment to marvel at the myriad colours of the late evening sun – welcome relief from the perils of recent air combat with the Luftwaffe high above the English Channel.

This superb new release from the master of aviation art is simply outstanding, a really classic piece and one which is sure to become hugely collectable in the future. The Eagle Squadrons have reached iconic status amongst collectors and Roberts’s new painting combines a magnificent portrait of the Spitfire with outstanding signatures
