ABBEVILLE BOYS
by Robert Taylor
They fought in the Battle of France, and throughout the Battle of Britain. At the time they were the Luftwaffe’s best known Fighter Wing, and for the next two years they duelled daily over northern France with the very best of the RAF who nicknamed them the ‘Abbeville Boys’.
One of Robert Taylor’s most iconic paintings, ‘Abbeville Boys’ features the outstanding Kommodore Adolf Galland leading the battle-hardened pilots of JG-26 as they power away from their base in the Pas de Calais for yet another tussle with the cream of RAF Fighter Command.
