Description

A tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen, one of the most iconic fighter units of WWII THE FIGHTING RED TAILS By Robert Taylor ARTIST PROOF With their distinctive red tails, P-51 Mustangs of the 332nd Fighter Group – the famed Tuskegee Airmen, climb to operational height as B17 Fortresses from the 483rd Bomb Group maneuver into formation at the start of another long and dangerous mission over Germany, Oct 1944. A welcome sight for the Fortress crews, the renowned all-black Tuskegee pilots were credited for never losing an escorted bomber to enemy aircraft. Aviation art master Robert Taylor pays tribute to the Tuskegee Fighter Pilots in this stunning portrait of one of the most famous fighter units of WWII. THE SIGNATURES Along with artist Robert Taylor this Artist Proof copy is personally signed by three Tuskegee Fighter Pilots that flew with the 332nd Fighter Group during WWII and two crew members of the 483rd Bomb Group, who were regularly escorted by the unit.
