Classic Robert Taylor Pieces
A collection of Robert Taylor's work throughout the years, that we rarely shout about! Each piece has a stunning array of signatures, with some well-known names appearing.
TANGMERE WING, 1941
The famous 'Tangmere Wing' fly high above the Sussex coast in their Spitfires, on their way across the channel to participate in aerial combat, led by their Group Captain Douglas Bader, 1941.
Robert is one of the few artists who personally knew Douglas Bader and who benefitted from the great fighter leader’s knowledge. The striking piece, which portrays Douglas Bader leading his Wing in ‘Finger Four’ formation across the Sussex coast towards France on a fighter sweep in early 1941, was composed with a great deal of technical and historical input from Douglas Bader and such is the scarcity that pristine examples rarely become available on the secondary market.
The print is signed for posterity by FOUR of the most famous Aces to fly with the RAF during WWII and by their audacious leader... find out more HERE!

CHENNAULT'S FLYING TIGERS
Two P-40 Tomahawks of the 2nd pursuit squadron, the 'Panda Bears', pull out of their diving attack just above the treetops of the Burmese jungle. One bomber hits the water, as two more P-40s bear down on another Nakajima bomber. In the distance the air is busy with low-level combat.
Originally published in 1991, Robert’s pacific piece was painted to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the highly successful first aerial combats of the Flying Tigers, SEVEN of which have signed the print... find out who the seven signatures are HERE!
