NEW RELEASE: Johnnie Johnson
The latest addition to the Icons of Flight series...
Introducing the latest release in this highly popular series:
- 'Johnnie Johnson' -
Robert's latest portfolio features one of the most respected fighter pilots of all time, ‘Johnnie’ Johnson. With 38 victories to his credit, not only was Johnnie the highest-scoring Spitfire Ace of WWII and the most prolific RAF pilot against the Luftwaffe but, in some 1,000 combat missions, he was never shot down, and only once was his Spitfire damaged in action.
Johnnie and artist Robert Taylor enjoyed a long-standing friendship that continued until the great Ace sadly passed away in 2001. Always a great admirer and supporter of Robert’s work and readily on hand to authenticate the artist's meticulous research.
The centrepiece of this highly-restricted edition features a detailed drawing entitled Wing Leader, beautifully portraying Johnnie leading Mk.IX Spitfires of his 144 Canadian Wing out across the Channel as they head out across the Normandy beach-head on the morning of D-Day 6 June 1944.
