Robert Taylor's Company of Heroes Rare Sold Out L/E & Book

  

The 34th Bomb Group's'Queenie', first home to Mendlesham today, has come to a standstill, the co-pilot already briefing the crew chief on the status of the aircraft. Another B-17 taxies while a jeep scurries across the tarmac to collect the crew of a third aircraft.

Other B-17s are already parked as the last man home makes his final approach, streaming vapor from a badly overheating engine. It is April 1945 and the fickle English weather greets the returning airmen with a mix of brillant sunshine and passing April showers. Robert Taylor's evocative lithograph is signed by Robert and two distinguished B-17 skippers including the Captain and pilot of'Queenie'. The book contains 70 magnificent color pictures of Robert's work over the last 25 years. Overall print size: 33 1/8" X 23 1/2".

Each print is individually hand signed by Robert Taylor and the following two B-17 Pilots. Dees, Squadron Commander 34th Bomb Group Captain Rolland H.
