"Eagles High"
by Robert Taylor

Robert Taylor's "Eagles High" A Commemorative Edition signed & numbered, 33" X 24" by Robert Taylor Throughout the six years of World War II the Spitfire and the Messerschmitt Me 109 were locked in combat. In the annals of aerial conflict no two such evenly matched fighter aircraft ever fought so consistently over such a sustained period of time, or with more distinction. Small, fast, responsive and highly maneuverable, the Spitfire was a thoroughbred fighter through and through. The Me109, rugged, heavily armed, fuel-injected and turbocharged, was a formidable opponent.

In the hands of an experienced pilot, under most conditions each airplane was a close match for the other. Both aircraft flew and fought throughout the war, during which time many of the great Aces in the European Theatres notched up their victories flying one or other of these two immortal fighters.

Federal Galleries is proud to offer "Eagles High" as a special limited edition to commemorate this important event. Each print in the edition is signed by all six distinguished:
