EAGLES ON THE RAMPAGE by Robert Taylor signed by TEN Mustang Aces

  

A TRIBUTE TO THE PILOTS WHO FLEW THE MUSTANG WITH THE USAAF DURING WWII. Dominating the skies over Germany, pilots of the 4th Fighter Group skim the cloud tops in their P-51 Mustangs, scanning the distant horizon for signs of the Luftwaffe.

They are poised and ready for action should the enemy decide to chance their luck. Formed in September 1942 from the RAF Eagle Squadrons, the Fourth Fighter Group was the oldest fighter unit in the Eighth Air Force; Under the command of Don Blakeslee, described as'probably the best fighter leader of the war', the combined air and ground victories notched up by'The Eagles' during World War II surpassed any other fighter group.

They were the first to penetrate German air space, and the first to engage the Luftwaffe over Berlin. Hermann Goering later remarked'When I saw those Mustangs over Berlin, I knew that the war was lost'. This powerful print has been individually hand-signed by TEN of the USAAF's Aces who flew Mustangs in Europe during World War II. Together they clocked up many thousands of hours flying P-51s on operational combat missions, and amassed almost ONE HUNDRED VICTORIES between them.

This print is a great opportunity for aviation art enthusiasts and autograph collectors alike to acquire a stunning collectors item, paying tribute to some of the most iconic American.
