Sting of the Black Tulip Robert Taylor 360 Limited Edition Signed Eric Hartmann

  
Robert Taylor's world famous portrayal of the highest scoring fighter Ace in history - Colonel Erich Hartmann! This was the first release in the highly collectible Hartmann Trilogy. Few small marks to the frame as pictured. Colours are great and no fading.

Released in 1997, this was the first in the now legendary Hartmann Trilogy. Legend has it that the moment a Russian pilot saw the Bf109 with the distinctive Black Tulip painted on the nose, he would know who the pilot was and radio his colleagues with a warning that the world's most-feared fighter Ace was on the warpath and their best chance of survival was to depart the scene quickly and without contest. That Ace was, of course, Erich Hartmann who, in just over 2½ years, scored 352 aerial victories to easily become the top-scoring Ace in history. It is a feat unlikely to be replicated.

Robert Taylor's portrayal of this legendary Pilot depicts the 7 August 1943 as the Ace scores the first of seven victories in a day.
