As we approach the 80th anniversary of the famous Doolittle Raid on Tokyo we're proud to feature these memorable pieces by Robert Taylor that serve as tributes to all those who took part...
INTO THE TEETH OF THE WIND
- The Masterwork Drawing -
Robert recreates the dramatic moment Jimmy Doolittle lifts his heavily laden B-25 off the deck of the USS Hornet. Fifteen gallant crews, with engines turning, are lined up and ready to follow.
Personally signed and authenticated by FIVE veterans who took part in the raid including Doolittle's Co-Pilot RICHARD 'DICK' COLE! Find out more HERE...

DOOLITTLE - MOMENT OF DESTINY
This stunning pencil edition captures the final moments before the intrepid crews head off on their fateful journey. With his B-25 straining against the brakes, Doolittle brings his engines up to full power and within seconds he will hurtle off the heaving deck.
Issued as an artist-signed print, we also have a limimted number available that have been mounted to full conservation standards to include the original autographs of two famous Doolittle Raiders, find out who signed it HERE!

GENERAL JIMMY DOOLITTLE
- Icons of Flight Collection -
Few aviators have had such an impact on the history or flight as Jimmy Doolittle and it therefore comes as little surprise that Robert's moving tribute has proved so popular.
The centrepiece depicts Doolittle's B-25 shortly after launch and has been carefully hand-embellished by artist Robert Taylor before being matted to full conservation standards to include an original autograph of the man himself; General JIMMY DOOLITTLE MOH. Find out more HERE
