THUNDERHEADS OVER RIDGEWELL
by Robert Taylor
One aircraft, more than any other, came to symbolise the great bombing campaign of the USAAF in Europe during World War Two, and in his spectacular new painting Robert Taylor captures the magnificence of Boeing's legendary B-17 Flying Fortress. In his inimitable style the artist brings to life an exact wartime scene, a battle-damaged aircraft making apparent the fearsome task tackled daily by those who flew the hazardous missions to occupied Europe during the greatest air war ever fought. The Mighty Eighth Edition is issued with matching numbered pencil drawing companion print, 'Another Mission Completed.'
