THE MIGHTY EIGHTH - COMING HOME
by Robert Taylor

To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the arrival in Europe of the men and machines of the Mighty Eighth, Robert Taylor has painted a remarkable work of art that evokes the heroic deeds of the immortal men who flew the awesome combat missions of WWII and provides a perpetual tribute to the debt owed to these intrepid aviators. In this print the valiant bombers of the Eighth Air Force are coming home. Set in a majestic panorama of evening sunlight, a battleweary bomber force approaches the coast of Belgium. A B-17 Fortress sheds debris as it struggles to stay with the group, while three B-24 Liberators have joined the formation for the North Sea Crossing. A lone P-51, low on fuel flies close escort. Conferring great historic important to this edition, each print is signed by six highly decorated bomber aircrew: Bob Landry, William Lawley, Edward Michael, Robert Morgan, Cliff Peterson and Albert Shower.
