Fighting Tigers by Robert Taylor signed by five legendary Flying Tiger Aces

Description: A POWERFUL PIECE DEPICTING ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC FIGHTER UNITS OF WWIIFIGHTING TIGERS by Robert TaylorOn August 5, 1944, following a successful attack on Japanese forces just north of Changsha, P-40 Warhawks of the75th and 16th Fighter Squadrons, 23rd Fighter Group are attacked by enemy Nakajima fighters and a massive dog-fight has developed over the Hsiang Chiang river with aircraft wheeling and turning in all directions. The action is set against the distinctive, haunting landscape of Southern China.The First American Volunteer Group (AVG) - the Flying Tigers - arrived in China in April 1941, achieving significant success against the Japanese. On 4 July 1942 the unit was disbanded to be replaced by the 23rd Fighter Group USAAF, which kept the AVG's aircraft along with a number of their pilots - including General Chennault as commander. Retaining the distinctive 'Sharks Mouth' nose art, along with the nick-name 'The Flying Tigers', the 23rd went on to achieve similar combat success to the AVG.This stunning panoramic image by one of the world’s most collected aviation artists, captures all the atmosphere of a crucial aerial campaign fought in the skies above a distant land so many years ago. THE SIGNATURES Released in 1996 the print is hand numbered and personally signed by the artist along with five legendary Flying Tigers Aces from the AVG and the 23rd Fighter Group, including one of the most iconic fighter leaders of WWII, ‘Tex’ Hill:Colonel DAVID 'TEX' HILL - 18½ victories Major General JOHN ALISON - 7 victories Lieutenant Colonel DON LOPEZ - 5 victories Colonel ED RECTOR - 10½ victories Brigadier General WILTZ SEGURA - 6 victoriesThis powerful print carries the original autographs of some legendary WWII Aces who flew with the Flying Tigers making it a historic collector’s item.
