RETURNING FROM SCHWEINFURT - New Release by Robert Taylor
Introducing the latest publication from The Robert Taylor Trust and The Military Gallery.
Shown as the endpapers in Robert Taylor’s Air Combat Paintings Volume VI, published in 2009, the Limited Edition print of ‘Returning From Schweinfurt’ was printed that very same year and has since been personally autographed by some of the ever-diminishing band of American bomber crew veterans who flew those frightful combat missions.
Adding significant historical importance, every copy is issued mounted to full conservation standards to show museum-quality reproduction USAAF pilots wings, an 8th Air Force shoulder patch, and the original signatures of airmen who took part in some of the most significant missions to be carried out by the Mighty Eighth during the war. These include legendary men such as Curtis LeMay who lead the first Schweinfurt-Regensburg mission, his Navigator Ralph Nutter, Kemp McLaughlin who was the Lead Pilot on the second Schweinfurt raid, Robert Shoens who took part in the first USAAF daylight mission to Berlin, and Medal of Honor recipient William Lawley.
A total of only TWENTY FIVE prints are available worldwide - prices from £495 / $695
