Top scoring RAF Ace Johnnie Johnson, Commanding Officer of 127 Wing, leads the Mk.IX Spitfires of 421 Squadron RCAF out on patrol from the airfield at Evère near Brussels, close to the German front line. As the Canadians climb steadily out, the golden light of dawn reveals a snow-clad landscape firmly held in the icy grip of winter, December 1944.

Perhaps the greatest pilot to ever fly the Spitfire was the RAF’s top fighter Ace and Wing Leader ‘Johnnie’ Johnson. His resolute determination and steadfast leadership came into its own during D-Day and the subsequent advance through Normandy, and he would finish the war as the highest scoring Allied Ace in Europe with 38 victories.

Robert Taylor’s Masterwork was specially commissioned in tribute to Johnnie Johnson and to commemorate the heroic role played by the pilots who flew the Spitfire on D-Day and the great Allied push from Normandy.

We have just ONE copy of this classic edition in stock, which has been embellished with a stunning Deluxe Legacy Remarque, completed by Richard Taylor, in the lower margin of the print!

What exactly is a Legacy Remarque?

Robert, along with his exclusive publisher the Military Gallery, allow a very limited number of prints to be enhanced with an original pencil remarque by Robert's talented son and renowned aviation artist, Richard. To avoid any confusion, Richard also personally signs each Legacy Remarque that he completes.
