    A LIMITED EDITION BY ONE OF THE WORLD’S FOREMOST AVIATION ARTISTS PAYING TRIBUTE TO THE LEGENDARY DOOLITTLE RAIDERS
    INTO THE TEETH OF THE WIND
    THE PENCIL PRINT
    By Robert Taylor
    8.20 am o
    n the morning of the 18th April 1942, Colonel ‘Jimmy’ Doolittle opens the throttle to full power to launch his B-25 down the heaving deck of the carrier USS Hornet into a 27 knot gale. His mission, to lead a bomber strike at the very heart of Imperial Japan.
    Flying their sixteen-bomber force on a long distance one-way mission, the Doolittle Raiders completed the first strike on Imperial Japan since the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor four months earlier. Together, they completed one of the most audacious air raids in aviation history.
    This dramatic print was reproduced from the original working drawing that Robert produced in preparation for his painting of the same name.
