The Me262 by Robert Taylor
Three legendary prints by Aviation arts finest.
The legendary Me262 was sleek, beautifully proportioned and deadly, and with a top speed of around 540mph was way faster than anything in the Allied arsenal. It could have changed the course of the war.
Here's a small selection of prints by Robert Taylor that all feature the Me262 and are signed for posterity by veterans who flew this mighty aircraft during WWII...
FIGHTER GENERAL
Artist Proof Edition
Me262s led by Adolf Galland, are returning towards Munich-Riem at full throttle, keeping low to avoid USAAF escort fighters after successfully intercepting and bringing down a B-24.
Published in 1997, this moving print was autographed at the time by Galland himself and three highly-regarded pilots who flew alongside him in the famous JV-44 unit:
- Generalleutnant ADOLF GALLAND KC w/ Oak Leaves, Swords & Diamonds
- Major HANS-EKKEHARD BOB KC
- Generalleutnant WALTER KRUPINSKI KC w/ Oak Leaves
- Leutnant GOTTFRIED FAHRMANN
