Phantom Strike - ONE COPY ONLY!
F-4 Phantoms in Vietnam...
Just over 65 years ago, 1 November 1955 marked the beginning of the Vietnam War. Here's a closer look at some RARE pieces by Robert Taylor depicting scenes from this bitter conflict...
PHANTOM STRIKE
%20-%20Copy.jpg)
The steel mill at Thai Nguyen was vital to North Vietnam and in 1967 its destruction was a top priority for the USAF. There was a problem however; it was one of the most heavily and well defended installations in the country.
On 30 March 1967, the mission to attack the Thai Nguyen steel plant fell to the legendary fighter leader and WWII Ace Robin Olds but it turned out to be one of the most hazardous raids of the Vietnam War.
Originally published in 1998, the edition quickly sold out and we're rarely able to offer copies on the Secondary Market. We're therefore delighted to have ONE COPY ONLY which is available for framing or immediate shipping.
This rare print is personally hand-signed in pencil by the famous leader depicted and his back seater:
- BGen ROBIN OLDS
- Maj DAN LAFFERTY
ONE copy only: £995

PHANTOM SHOWTIME
On 19 January 1972 Lt. Randy Cunningham and his Radar Intercept Officer, Lt. Willie ‘Irish’ Driscoll flying a Phantom F-4J destroyed a MiG-21 over North Vietnam. It was the first of five air victories that paved the way for them to become the US Navy’s only Aces of the Vietnam War.
Robert’s incredibly evocative painting shows Cunningham’s returning F-4 Phantom – call sign ‘Showtime 112’ – hurtling past the carrier USS Constellation at 500 knots just feet above the murky waters of the Gulf of Tonkin.
Long sold out as a Limited Edition print, this dramatic image is available as a Giclée Studio Proof on canvas thanks to the latest high-definition digital technology. With the look and feel of an original painting, this makes a dramatic centrepiece for any home, study or office!
Giclée Studio Proof: £525

Flying his lead F-4D Phantom through a hail of deadly enemy flak, fighter Aces Steve Ritchie, from USAF 55th Tactical Fighter Squadron, hurtles away from the target area after a typical FAST FAC mission on enemy installations in North Vietnam, 1972. Behind him, a vast trail of devastation marks the mission’s progress, as his fellow Phantom crews continue to wreak havoc with their heavy ordnance, the target area exploding in a series of mighty detonations.
In tribute to the outstanding achievements of Steve Ritchie and the 555th TFS, this memorable edition is personally signed by the legendary Ace himself plus a fellow highly-distinguished 'Triple Nickel' combat pilot:
- BGen RICHARD 'STEVE' RITCHIE
- Cpt JOHN MADDEN
