GATHERING STORM by Robert Taylor 780/1250 COA

  

Rare Limited Edition by Robert Taylor featuring Fw190s of JG-2. Equipped with new Fw190s, the notorious fighter interceptors of JG-2 achieved startling success against the still inexperienced USAAF B-17 crews that regularly visited occupied ports on the west coast of France in 1943.

The Fw190 quickly established a fearsome reputation and became the mainstay of the German defence. Robert Taylor's spectacular painting highlights the elegant lethality that exuded from the Fw190, as a group of A-3 and A-4s climb out over Theville to intercept an in-coming armada of B-17 Fortresses en-route to bomb the submarine pens at Lorient. Gathering Storm by Robert Taylor is signed by four distinguished Focke-Wulf 190 Aces, having between them almost 2500 combat missions and no fewer than 393 aerial victories: Major Heinz Lange KC Major Fritz Losigkeit Hauptmann Günther Schack KC with Oak Leaves Leutnant Hugo Broch KC. 33 x 25 inches overall including borders.
