EAGLES OUT OF THE SUN. A RARE LIMITED EDITION SIGNED BY AN UNBELIEVABLE COLLECTION OF LEGENDARY LUFTWAFFE ACES. With the sun high and behind them, Messerschmitt Bf109s dive onto their target in a blistering attack with their Staffel Commander leading from the front, his cannons blazing as he closes on a formation of B-17s. Close on his heels his Staffel pilots follow him into the attack, while behind another group of Me109 fighters takes on the outer box of the Fortress formation. These formidable pilots know they must face a wall of fire from the B-17 gunners, and that the Fortress crews will not flinch in the flight. Equally they know they have a job to do and that they will press home the attack regardless of the resistance they encounter. The Lucky ones will survive to fight again tomorrow. All the great Luftwaffe Aces flew the Me109. Most achieved their phenomenal aerial successes in this supreme fighter, and it is this beautiful aircraft that Robert Taylor chose for this painting to pay tribute to this unique band of air Aces.
