THE SLEEPING GIANT AWAKES
Richard Taylor's painting depicts the Enterprise approaching Ford Island and the smoldering ruins that had been the Pacific Fleet. Ships still burn and the thick smoke hangs in the air as the mighty carrier moves slowly through the outer channel and ever alert F4F-3A Wildcats of VF-6 fly an overhead patrol. Throughout the night the carrier will refuel and re-arm, and at dawn she will return to sea with a steel resolve and a new mission..........to avenge Pearl Harbor.

THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN
P-51's of the famed Tuskegee Fighting Red Tails wind down at their airbase in Italy after a gruelling long range Bomber escort mission over occupied territory.

THEY SHALL GROW NOT OLD
Few symbolise our veterans more than the well-loved Chelsea Pensioners, retired British Army soldiers such as those depicted in Richard's drawings. Instantly recognisable by their iconic scarlet uniforms dating back to the reign of Queen Anne, the Chelsea Pensioners have become a living reminder of the losses incurred by generations of British soldiers. We will remember them.
