RED TAIL PATROL
by Richard Taylor
This superb pencil print from Richard Taylor depicts red-tailed P-51 Mustangs of the Tuskegee Airmen, high over enemy territory, returning from yet another successful bomber escort mission
The Tuskegee “Red Tail” pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group escorted hundreds of bomber aircrew back to safety and Richard’s drawing is a lasting tribute to one of the most famous units of WWII.

The Remarques
Richard Taylor is widely recognised as one of the best exponents of pencil work in the aviation art industry and a very limited number of prints were issued with an individually hand drawn single or DOUBLE sized original pencil remarque, direct from Richard’s studio. Each exquisite remarque is completed as an individual pencil drawing and numbered to match the main print. Both are then issued within full conservation matting to include a pair of museum quality reproduction US Air Force Pilots Wings, creating a highly desirable tribute to the FIGHTING RED TAILS!
