THE LIMITED EDITION BOOK AND PRINT PORTFOLIO

Messerschmitt Bf 109s of II./JG53 undergo routine maintenance at Charleville-Mézières, Northern France, during the summer of 1940. With the Battle of Britain at its height the German fighters will soon be back in action over the Channel and southern England.

This outstanding limited edition portfolio includes an individually numbered copy of the book THE ART OF COMBAT which is personally signed by artist Richard Taylor and issued in a luxurious embossed slipcase. Each book is accompanied by a matching numbered copy of the superb print FINE TUNING, specially commissioned for this occasion.

The Signature

Each print is individually numbered and personally signed by the artist Richard Taylor, along with one of the most legendary Luftwaffe Aces of all time:

Major ERICH RUDORFFER Knight's Cross with Oak leaves and Swords
Serving throughout the whole of World War II during the Battle of Britain, the Eastern Front, north Africa, in the Defence of the Reich he flew Me109’s and Fw190's and finished flying the iconic Me262 jet. In more than 1000 combat missions, he ended the war as the seventh highest scoring Aces in history with 222 victories.
