about this piece
Robert Taylor's stunning painting, beautifully captures a group of Bf109Gs from III./JG26, as they return to their forward base after a long fighter sweep along the Channel coast in early 1944. In his unmistakable style, and with inordinate skill, Robert deftly evokes a moment of rare tranquillity amidst the carnage of war as the lengthening sun glints across the frozen landscape during the short days of winter.

Signatures May Vary by Edition

Every print in each edition is individually hand-numbered and personally signed by the artist Robert Taylor together with TWO Luftwaffe fighter pilots who flew Me109's in the West:

THE COLLECTORS EDITION AND REMARQUES
These NINE signature editions have been personally signed by a further seven highly respected Luftwaffe fighter pilots who flew in combat over Germany and France:

The Editions are also signed by three iconic Luftwaffe Aces, all of them senior Knight's Cross holders:

Although sadly no longer with us, the General, in special agreement with the Military Gallery, fully endorsed the content of this painting by adding his signature to the edition during his lifetime, on condition that prints would be released at a later date. That moment has arrived and the Military Gallery is honoured to be in a position to release a new edition from the worlds most collected Aviation Artist which personally autographed by such a historic figure.

THE TRIBUTE EDITION
This TWENTY signature Tribute Edition, limited by the extreme rarity of many of these pilot's signatures, contains all the components of the Collectors Editions but each print is accompanied by an ORIGINAL pencil drawing by the world's premier aviation artist Robert Taylor. Each of these beautiful drawings is personally signed by five famous Aces and then conservation matted to include the original signatures of a further SIX outstanding and highly decorated fighter Aces including some of the leading Pilots of the Western Front.
