THE LONG SHORT DAYS - Framed Collectors Piece
by Robert Taylor
Robert Taylor’s stunning painting captures a group of Bf109Gs of III./JG26, one of the Luftwaffe’s most famous fighter units, as they return to their base during a long sweep along the Channel coast in early 1944. In his unmistakable style, Robert evokes a moment of rare tranquility amidst the carnage of war as the lengthening sun glints across the frozen landscape during the short days of winter.
This is rapidly becoming a very collectible edition in Robert's extensive portfolio and with such amazing signatures is likely to become one of his classic releases.
The signatories included amassed an incredible 1093 aerial victories between them, creating an extraordinary item for collectors of Luftwaffe memorabilia which would be the centerpiece of any collection.
