ACES ON THE WESTERN FRONTBy Robert Taylor
A RARE LIMITED EDITION SIGNED BY LEGENDARY LUFTWAFFE ACES
The ancient Norman monastery on Mont St. Michel provides the majestic backdrop as a group of Me109s race across the coast returning to their forward base in northern France after a fighter sweep across the English Channel in early 1941.
During the spring of 1941 almost all of the great Luftwaffe fighter leaders dueled across the English Channel on a daily basis with RAF Fighter Command. But the Abbey of Mont St Michel has seen it all before: built by the Normans on a solid rock of granite rising 250 feet out of the sea, this ancient monastery has witnessed conflict over almost a thousand years. It now plays backdrop to Robert Taylor’s iconic painting.

This print has never been framed but due to its age has picked up a small crease in the lower right corner of the print which is reflected in the price. This would be completely hidden once framed and the signature area and image are perfect
