JV-44 - SQUADRON OF EXPERTS
by Robert Taylor

As the Allied Forces drove inexorably towards Berlin, General Adolf Galland formed the new JV-44 wing to operate the Messerschmitt Me262 twin jet fighter in a last-ditch effort to stem the tide. The combination of mercurial leadership and advanced fighter aircraft became a magnet towards the Luftwaffe's elite, drawing a host of colorful high-scoring fighter pilots together for a 'last fling' in combat, flying the new jet fighter. Robert Taylor's limited edition print does superb justice to this unique and historic fighter wing bringing to life again Adolf Galland's unique Squadron of Experts as they dive into attack at over 900km per hour. The print is signed and numbered by the artist, and carries the original signatures of Generals Galland, Johannes Steinhoff, Walter Krupinski and Herbert Kaiser - all of whom flew the revolutionary Me262 jet fighter in combat with the legendary JV-44. A beautiful print remembering a poignant passage in the history of aviation. Certificate of Authenticity accompanies print.
