STRIKE AND RETURN
Robert Taylor has chosen 460 Squadron for this
evocative tribute to the men of RAF Bomber Command
who flew the torturous day and night raids throughout
World War II. Under the command of the dashing
young Group Captain Hughie Edwards, VC, between
1943-45 the Squadron took part in many of the most
important raids of the war, becoming the most highly
decorated squadron in Bomber Command by the end of
hostilities.

HELLCAT FURY
In this important new painting, his first featuring the
F6F Hellcat, Robert Taylor brings to life the scenario that was
crucial to Admiral Spruance's forceful drive through the Central
Pacific. The once feared Japanese base at Truk is being reduced
to a statistic of war. Hellcats of VF6 hurtle across the lagoon at
masthead height with guns blazing, creating havoc as they tear
into the enemy positions below. Seen in the foreground is the
F6F-3 of Lt. Alex Vracui, subsequently to become one of the
Navy's top guns. This exhilarating new work dramatically
conveys the awesome conditions endured day after day by the
pilots of the US Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific.
With prints signed by a host of US Navy Aces, including the first
F6F Hellcat Ace of World War II, Robert has created a limited
edition print that will take pride of place in many discerning
print collections.

THREE HUNDRED CLUB
Although the true qualities of a fighter pilot cannot be measured simply by tallying his number of air victories - some of the
greatest fighter leaders do not feature in the top score sheets -there can be no question that any fighter pilot whose victory tally
is counted in 100's has got to be exceptional. That two of them achieved more than 300 air-to-air victories is pure phenomena.

HOMEWARD BOUND
Nicolas Trudgian's emotive painting Homeward Bound depicts Dave Shannon's Lancaster AJ-L, dodging the searchlights low over the Dutch landscape, as he returns from the Eder Dam following the part he and his crew played in the famous raid on that moonlit night in May, 1943.
