COMING IN OVER THE
ESTUARY by Robert Taylor
In
Robert Taylor's panoramic painting, P-38J Lightnings of the
364th Fighter Group return from a strafing mission over France
in the summer of 1944. Making their land-fall at just 100
feet, they skim across an estuary on England's south coast,
near the old village of Bosham. With his unmistakable skill
and vivid imagination Robert cleverly contrasts the exhilaration
of the low-level combat flying, with the peaceful atmosphere
of a quiet coastal setting, emphasising that curious blend
of war and peace that was the daily lifestyle of the World
War II flyer. This classic aviation painting provides collectors
with a wonderful study of a memorable warbird.
Each
print is signed by FIVE Aces who flew the P-38 in combat in
Europe.
