Description: HOSTILE SKY by Robert Taylor A P-38 Lightning challenges a pair of Fw190s head on. Breaking up their attack ona damaged B-24 Liberator high over Belgium, early 1944. A B-24 has been damaged and is losing touch with the main bomber formation as Luftwaffe pilots concentrate their attentions on the unfortunate aircraft. Two Fw190s, are closing in for the kill on the damaged B-24 but, seeing the desperate situation, a P-38 escort pilot makes a head-on attack, splitting the pair of Fw190s and ruining their attempt to finish off the stricken bomber whilst another P-38 also turns in to attack the German fighters.THE SIGNATURES The print is individually signed by the artist along with two P-38 fighter Aces and two top-scoring Fw190 fighter pilots who fought in the skies over Europe in World War II:Colonel GERALD BROWN – 35th Fighter Group / 5 victories Colonel JOHN LOWELL – 364th Fighter Group / 7½ victories Captain ALFRED GRISLAWSKI – JG 1 / 133 victories Captain GUNTHER SCHACK – JG 51 / 174 victoriesThis stunning print has been sold out and only available on the secondary market for some years and is a seldom seen piece from Robert Taylor’s extensive portfolio.
