HURRICANE SCRAMBLE (Remarque)
By Robert Taylor
1250 Signed and Numbered Prints

It is August 1940. The Battle of Britain is at its height. Great armadas of Luftwaffe aircraft have made incessant attacks on Southern
Britain throughout the day. The unmistakeable roar of the Merlin engines fills the fighter station once again as the Hurricanes scramble into the air. It is their sixth operational sortie of the day. Such was the desperation of the Battle that it was commonplace for the young RAF pilots to fly and fight from dawn to dusk during that hot summer of 1940. The redoubtavle Hawker Hurricane bore the brunt of the operational combat flying during the epic Battle of Britain, accounting for no fewer than four fifths of air victories scored by the British fighter pilots. Without this wonderfully stable fighter aircraft, and the determination and courage of its young pilots, the battle would never have been won. Robert Taylor, in his inimitable and unmistakable style has captured perfectly the atmosphere of the "Scramble", set in an airfield scene so typical of those frantic days in the summer of 1940. The print is
signed by four Hurricane fighter pilots: Bob Doe, Roland "Bee" Beamont, Peter Brothers and Denis Crowley-Milling. The pencil
remarque is signed and dated by Robert Taylor.
