Clearing Skies Limited Edition Print by Robert Taylor

  
CLEARING SKIES - THORPE ABBOTTS, WINTER 1945. Limited Edition Print by Robert Taylor. THE WORLD'S PREMIER AVIATION ARTIST PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE AMERICAN BOMBER CREWS OF THE US 8th AIR FORCE. Robert's atmospheric piece depicts B-17 Fortresses of the 100th Bomb Group at Thorpe Abbotts, Norfolk preparing to carry out the Eighth Air Force's latest mission to Germany in early 1945. Earning the nickname'The Bloody Hundredth' due to the heavy losses they suffered, Robert has fittingly chosen the 100th BG to represent all those who flew so heroically with the Eighth Air Force in England during World War II.

To honor all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, each print has been personally signed and authenticated by veterans who served with the 100th BG as the Allies pushed for victory during WWII. By endorsing the edition, their autographs help to create a historically important collector's piece to be cherished for future generations. Joining artist Robert Taylor in signing every print are three distinguished aircrew who flew B-17s on operations with the 100th BG from Thorpe Abbotts during WWII.

Our prints are rolled using acid-free tissue paper and then carefully placed into a heavy duty tube. Please do not leave prints rolled in the tube for too long, as over time the print will forget it was ever flat!
