The drama of B-17s of the 34th Bomb Group returning from a raid in the final weeks of the war is skilfully portrayed against one of Robert Taylor’s equally dramatic English skies. In a painting packed with atmosphere and highly detailed content, this magnificent image not only brings to life the glorious Flying Fortresses of the USAAF, but also the lives of the brave young men who flew them, such as the two 34th Bomb Group skippers who signed each and every print. Originally issued to accompany Robert Taylor’s landmark "Masterworks" book. The Collector's Edition In addition to the artist, every print in this edition is signed by: Captain ROLLAND H. WHITED Lieutenant Colonel ROBERT W DEES Edition Size: 500 Overall Size: 33 x 23.5 inches NOTES: There is no "Masterworks" book available for this edition. CONDITION: The print has slight damage on an outer white border and also shows marginal fading to the image which is highlighted by a small outer bordered area of the actual image that was "pinched" by an overlay mount used for framing. These could easily be concealed if the print were to be re-mounted and framed.
