EAGLES OUT OF THE SUN
by Robert Taylor
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 B-17s. Close on his heels his Staffel pilots follow him into the attack, while behind another group of Me109 fighters takes on the outer box of the Fortress formation. The Luftwaffe Aces know they must face a wall of fire from the B-17 gunners, and that the Fortress crews will not flinch in the flight. Equally they know they have a job to do and that they will press home the attack regardless of the resistance they encounter. The Lucky ones will survive to fight again tomorrow.
