EVE OF DESTINY - THE MASTERWORK DRAWING - Framed Collectors Piece
by Richard Taylor
Paratroopers of the US 101st Airborne Division prepare to board Douglas C-47s on the eve of D-Day, 5th June 1944. Shortly after 22.00hrs they will set course for Normandy and, after crossing the French coast under heavy AA fire, drop behind Utah Beach to seize key objectives just hours before the largest seaborne invasion in history.
As a lasting tribute to all those who served on that fateful night, this special copy has been returned to artist Richard Taylor to complete a unique Remarque in the lower border of the print.
The Signatures
This memorable piece has been personally signed and authenticated by THREE paratroopers who jumped on D-Day with the 506th PIR, 101st Airborne and then matted to include an additional FOUR autographs of highly-regarded 506th Veterans.
