99 on a scale of 100. Only one tiny defect that is very difficult to find - a 1/2 inch crease in the top white border.
Otherwise, the print is mint. SIZE: 25 by 33 inches.SIGNATURES: Hand-signed and numbered in pencil by the artist Robert Taylor and six 8th Air Force Aces. 56th FG - Top Scoring US Ace in Europe - 28 Victories. 56th FG - 20.75 Victories. Commander of the 4th FG - 15.5 Victories. 56th FG - Second Highest Scoring US Ace in Europe - 27 Victories.
56th FG - Commander of the 56th FG - 17.75 Victories. 357th FG - 15.5 Victories. Comes with the Certificate of Authenticity. Robert's best Thunderbolt print, if you ask me. Plenty of Mustangs in the background, and one P-38 too.
Plus an incredibly strong lineup of US Ace signatures. The two most famous US Fighter Group commanders. The two top scoring US pilots in the ETO. The first US Ace to be credited with 20 aerial victories.One ace from the 357th Fighter Group which had the most Aces in the 8th Air Force. On an airfield in the heart of the English countryside, fighter pilots of the US 8th Air Force start up and taxi out their Republic P-47 Thunderbolts. Their mission - long range bomber escort.
Above them, B-17s & P-51 Mustangs are already outward bound. A P-38 Lightning is being armed in the background. Nice touch by Robert to include all 3 US escort fighters in this tribute to 8th AF Fighter Command. 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.
