Description
The Limited Edition and very low inventory Collectors Edition
Canadian, Flight Lieutenant Johnny Kent leads the Hurricanes flown by Polish pilots of no.303 Squadron during September 1940 – at the height of the Battle of Britain
In this moving and highly evocative tribute to nearly 3000 young men from 14 nations who made up RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain, Robert Taylor has chosen 303 Squadron – the highest scoring squadron in 11 Group during the Battle of Britain – to represent all the men of RAF fighter Command who flew and fought in one of history’s most crucial and decisive battles.
This haunting and poignant drawing, the latest in the Graphite Collection, has been skilfully executed in Robert’s unique blend of pencil and paint, and with each print signed by Aircrew who flew and fought during those crucial months this is an outstanding opportunity for all collectors of aviation fine art and memorabilia.
Overall size: Approx 25 x 15 3/4 inches
