Major Dick Winters and the men of Easy Company , 101st Airborne Division, take up a holding position in the Normandy town of Carentan on 14 June 1944, eight days after their dramatic parachute drop into Normandy on D-Day.
They have just endured a prolongued and bitter battle to secure the area, and at last the unit can enjoy a brief respite from the hand-to-hand fighting as...
All the great Luftwaffe Aces flew the Me109. Most achieved their phenomenal aerial successes in this supreme little fighter, and it is this beautiful aircraft that Robert Taylor has chosen for this painting to pay respect to this unique band of air Aces. In the foreground the Staffel Commander is viewed leading the attack, his cannons blazing as he closes on a formation of...
Throughout the long hot summer of 1940 the destiny of the British Isles, indeed the future of Europe, laid in the hands of a small band of young RAF fighter pilots. Against them stood the vast aerial fleets of an all powerful Luftwaffe, gloating and confident from its victories in Poland, France and the Low Countries. Lying in wait across the Channel, anticipating an easy victory by its air...
As shells from the naval bombardment whistle overhead, and ground-fire crackles around them, a pair of Mk IXb Spitfires from 412 Canadian Squadron make a fast run over Juno Beach, in support of the Third Canadian Division storming ashore. Landing craft negotiate their way through the choppy seas and mined beach obstacles to discharge men at the water’s edge, ready to assault the high...
Russ Berg flies his 10th Recce Group P51s in low and fast, dodging flak and enemy fighters, to get vital photographs for General Paton's advancing forces. A superb study of World War II's most outstanding tactical fighter in action, in the hands of one of the USAAF's most distinguished and highly decorated pilots.
In the months that followed Dunkirk, the RAF stood alone against the might of the Luftwaffe and the massed forces of Germany preparing to invade Britain. While America anxiously watched events, some 240 pilots made their way to England to join the RAF in their herculean struggle against the overwhelming odds.
Motivated by the urge to fight for the cause of freedom, a swashbuckling...
With its sleek, graceful design, instantly recognisable by its thin, aerodynamically advanced elliptical wings, the Supermarine Spitfire was the creation of R. J. Mitchell, an aeronautical creative genius. His fighter was to become not only the most important Allied aircraft of World War II, but the most famous British fighter in history.
As dawn breaks a pair of Spitfire Mk1s fly...
Throughout the six long years from the first to the last day of World War II, the Spitfire and Messerschmitt Bf109 were locked in combat. In the annals of aerial combat no two such evenly matched aircraft have fought so consistently over such a sustained period of time. And perhaps no painting captures the essence of those duels than Robert Taylor’s Eagles High.

With its distinctive frontal radiator scoop, the Typhoon became the benchmark of all ground attack aircraft to serve in WWII.
At the time of D-Day and during the Allied advance through Europe, the Typhoon became the backbone of the 2nd Tactical Air Force’s ground attack Wings. Deadly at low level, and fast, the Typhoon could outrun the Me109 and Fw190, and was robust enough to take...
When it came to hammering German ground forces in the days after D-Day, Lockhead’s outstanding P-38 Lighting gained an awesome reputation.
With bright yellow spinners and distinctive twin-booms glinting in the June sunshine, two P-38 Lockheed Lightnings of the USAAF's 79th Fighter Squadron, 20th Fighter Group hurtle low over Pegasus Bridge as they race across the Normandy landscape...
