DESERT WARRIOR
As with many of Robert's early and long sold-out editions, the prints have been signed by an astonishing collection of Luftwaffe veterans which is now impossible to replicate. Included is the legendary Eduard Neumann himself, along with Aces who flew in combat with him in the Western Desert, creating a historic collector's piece that is destined to become an instant classic.

RETURN OF THE PATHFINDERS
Anthony Saunders' atmospheric painting Return of the Pathfinders depicts the Pathfinder Mosquitos of 139 (Jamaica) Squadron, a unit that had joined Bomber Command's No 8 (Pathfinder) Group in July 1943. Anthony skilfully conjures up the mood as dawn breaks over a crisp, icy landscape in a burst of colour that illuminates the Mosquitos as they follow the course of the River Great Ouse on their return to RAF Upwood after a long overnight trip to Germany in early 1944. During a period that began on the night of 20 / 21st February 1944 this particular squadron undertook a series of 36 consecutive night attacks on Berlin.

JOURNEYS END
To commemorate the centenary of that November Armistice, Richard Taylor has created a moving tribute to all the Allied soldiers who took part in that epic struggle. Fittingly, as an acclaimed aviation artist, he has chosen to do this with a powerful drawing that offers us a glimpse of one of the many aviators who pioneered a new form of warfare that, in the end, helped bring about final victory.

STORMBIRDS RISING
Robert Taylor, the master of aviation art, portrays the Me262s of III./JG7 in his powerful painting as a tribute to this revolutionary aircraft. He captures a scene during the final weeks of the war as Leutnant Hermann Buchner, by now one of the most famous jet Aces and recipient of the coveted Knight's Cross, joins his fellow pilots of III./JG7 as they climb to intercept a large formation of American bombers having just left their base at Parchim. Below them the tranquillity of the meandering River Havel, flowing gracefully through the countryside west of Berlin, is in stark contrast to the deadly encounters that will soon take place overhead.

AT THE DAYS END
Working with a combination of graphite and coloured paints on 'buff' coloured paper to create a unique sepia effect, Robert Taylor's outstanding Masterwork brings to life a moment during September 1940 at the height of the Battle of Britain. With an intuition unsurpassed by his peers, the world's foremost aviation artist depicts a group of battle-weary Spitfire pilots from 92 Squadron after a long day's fighting. Exhausted, they wait whilst ground crews hastily re-fuel and re-arm their aircraft at Biggin Hill ready for the next combat. No one knows when the alarm will sound but, when it does, they will, as always, be ready.

ACE OF ACES GICLÉE CANVAS PROOF
One of Robert Taylor's most iconic paintings - Ace of Aces features Hartmann leading a Schwarm of Bf109s from JG52 as they begin their attack. Originally published in 1988, many aviation art collectors will have never seen this stunning image, so the Military Gallery is delighted to announce that it is the latest to be added to the highly celebrated series of Studio Proofs on canvas.

EAGLES WINGS
Richard Taylor's superb masterwork portrays the iconic Bf109 at a time when this remarkable fighter reigned supreme - the summer of 1940. With Poland long crushed and the Battle of France now over, the Battle of Britain has begun. Yet amidst the fury of war, Richard has once again managed to convey the tranquillity of the French countryside as a pair of Bf109s prepare to touch down at a forward airfield.

TOP BOUNCE
Flight Lieutenant Don Kingaby and the pilots of 64 Squadron dive to attack
a group of Fw190s that have been spotted about 2,000ft below them near Boulogne,
30 July 1942. The ensuing dogfight was the first-ever encounter between
the new Mk.IX Spitfire and the Fw190.

PACIFIC GLORY
Anthony Saunders' stunning painting graphically recalls a moment during the Allied fight-back. On 5 October 1943, ten months after the island had fallen to the Japanese, American naval aircraft raided Wake, one of many such operations carried out by the US Navy and Marines. At the forefront of the attack was Lt. Cmdr. Edward 'Butch' O'Hare, the US Navy's first Ace and first Naval recipient of the Medal of Honor. Throwing his F6F Hellcat into a furious dogfight, he engages Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zeroes based on the island and in the process adds two more victories to his tally. Under O'Hare's experienced guidance his young wingman, Lt. Alex Vraciu, claimed his first kill, and would later become one of the foremost Aces in the US Navy with 19 victories.
