Horrido! by Robert Taylor

Appropriately, Robert Taylor has chosen the Me109s of JG52 as his subject to represent the fighter pilots of the Luftwaffe in his new tribute to these courageous flyers, with his breathtaking painting "Horrido!"

With the traditional battle cry ringing in their ears, Squadron Commander Hptm Wolfgang Ewald leads pilots of I./JG52 into combat. Based at Coquelles/Calais in September 1940, the JG-52 Me109s hurtle down in a high-speed dive to engage the enemy during the ferociously fought Battle of Britain. Robert eloquently depicts these sleek and deadly fighters high over the Channel, glinting and menacing against an ominous backdrop of heavy cumulous clouds - the world's foremost aviation artist's skill bringing to life the Luftwaffe's most successful fighter aircraft in action.

THE LUFTWAFFE ACES EDITION
Rarely have the signatures of so many leading Luftwaffe Aces been issued at one time on a Robert Taylor limited edition print. Now however, each print in this dramatic new edition of Horrido! has been individually hand-signed in pencil by TEN of the Luftwaffe's top fighter Aces of World War II, holding a total of 1,225 victories between them.

THE KNIGHT’S CROSS EDITION
With 2,355 victories between the FIFTEEN signatories, the Knight's Cross Edition features all the components of the Luftwaffe Aces Edition but is published to include the additional signatures of five of the greatest Luftwaffe Aces of all time, including the top two Aces - Erich Hartmann and Gerhard Barkhorn. To complement this exceptional signature collection, the publisher, the Military Gallery has presented the five additional rare signatures within a conservation grade matte, to include an ORIGINAL pencil drawing by Robert Taylor together with a museum quality faux Luftwaffe metal breast eagle.

THE KNIGHT'S CROSS TRIBUTE PROOFS
These FIVE remarkable copies, signed by EIGHTEEN Aces who between amass them a staggering 2,770 victories, are destined to become a collector's jewel in their crown.
