THE STRAGGLER RETURNS - Framed Collectors Piece
by Robert Taylor
Damaged by flak and enemy fighters, the pilot and his crew have somehow pulled together to get their ship home. Down on power, and handling badly she has slipped further and further behind the main formation on the long flight home, but she has made it! Below are the green fields of England and with just a few more miles to run, the straggler returns.
Published back in 1987 we rarely see copies in such good condition and no wonder it’s so highly sought-after given the legendary line up of signatures including two recipients of the Victoria Cross. Making this piece even more special, we’ve included an additional ten original autographs in the matting to create a unique FOURTEEN signature piece! The full list reads:
