SIZE: 24 by 33 inches. SIGNATURES: Hand-signed and numbered in pencil by the artist Robert Taylor and 2 of the most famous pilots of the 8th Air Force.

John C Morgan - B-17 Pilot awarded the Medal of Honor. Hub Zemke - Commanding Officer of the 56th & 479th Fighter Groups. Two Certificates of Authenticity are included - one for the print itself - and an additional COA signed by Virginia Bader to prove the provenance of the two extra signatures added at her gallery. The print image is first rate, with a great sky, very nice color and detailed aircraft.

Don't judge it based on the image in Taylor's V2 book, as that reproduction is poor, not representing the true colors, and does a disservice to the actual print. This print was published without aircrew signatures. Most collectors expect Robert Taylor's prints to be aircrew signed.

The lack of signatures is not a problem for this particular print, as two very interesting signatures have been added. The two added signatures are directly relevant to the 8th Air Force.

John C Morgan - B-17 pilot who was awarded the Medal of Honor. Hub Zemke - 17.5 victory Ace, one of the few pilots to fly the P-38, P-47 & P-51 on escort missions in the 8th AF, CO of the 56th & 479th Fighter Groups.

Never framed, stored flat in a non-smoking, climate-controlled environment. Check my feedback - it's excellent.

I ask for the same consideration from you. I will pack your print very carefully so it arrives undamaged.
