Rangers on the Rampage by Robert Taylor.
Flying the high speed low level Day Ranger missions in the Mosquito was one of the most exhilarating forms of aerial combat experienced by aircrews in WWII. Given a free hand at squadron level to select targets of opportunity deep inside enemy held territory, operating the fastest piston engined aircraft of the war, the Ranger Mosquito crews wreaked havoc in the air and on the ground literally all over occupied Europe. Approaching their targets at tree top height, often completely undetected, the element of surprise was usually total; one pair of Mosquitoes arriving over an airfield near Kronigsburg found a ceremonial parade in progress, broke up the party, and departed within seconds leaving five aircraft burning and a bunch of German generals diving for cover beneath thei staff cars! Typical of the Day Ranger squadrons was No.418 City of Edmonton Squadron RCAF. Flying the Mosquito Fighter-Bomber MkVI, they completed over 3000 effective missions, destroyed 172 enemy aircraft - 73 on the ground - damaged a further 103, and in addition brought down 83 buzz-bombs and destroyed countless vehicles. In company with other Mosquito Ranger squadrons, they rampaged across Europe with outstanding courage in the best traditions of the RAF and Commonwealth Air Forces. Robert Taylors painting dramatically brings to life a Mosquito attack on a German fighter station deep inside Germany. Arriving over the target at little above hangar height, the two-ship mission announce their arrival by raking the field with cannon and machine gun fire. Within seconds both aircraft have scored direct hits with their 50lb bombs, and before the defensive flak guns can get the range, the pair have departed for home.

Morning Thunder by Robert Taylor.
There are few truly defining moments in the history of a State - single episodes that touch every citizen, and cast a nations future. Epoch-making events that influence the entire world are even more uncommon. The events that took place in the space of less than two hours on the morning of December 7, 1941 were of such defining importance, their memory is now deeply embedded into the history of the Twentieth Century. At ten minutes to eight, as the US Pacific fleet lazily came awake, suddenly, and without warning, the world around them exploded with all the mighty force of thunder: Within seconds Pearl Harbor became cloaked with attacking Japanese aircraft. Before sailors could comprehend what was happening, bombs and torpedoes had ripped out the heart of the fleet: Four of eight battleships were sunk, a dozen more naval vessels lay stricken in the water, 2400 souls perished. In those terrible few moments, the tranquil scene was transformed into a boiling cauldron of explosions, fire, smoke and unimaginable destruction. Pearl Harbor became a raging inferno. Robert Taylors specially commissioned masterpiece recreated desperate moments during the second wave attack at around 9am on December 7, 1941. Having taken six torpedo hits and two bomb strikes in the first wave attack on Battleship Row, the West Virginia is ablaze, her bows already low in the water and decks awash. Ignoring the risks, crews push the navy tug Hoga alongside with fire-fighting equipment and to pick up survivors. Overhead, Japanese Zeros swoop through the smoke, aiming the second wave attack at installations on Pearl Harbors Ford Island, to complete one of historys most devastating unprovoked declarations of war.

Sky Giant by Robert Taylor.
In the mid 1930s, at a time when Pan American had led the way with two generations of four0engined flying boats. the United States Navy sought a much larger, heavier flying boat for over-water reconnaissance bomber service. Consolidated Aircrafts PB2Y Coronado was the result, this massive all-metal flying boat first taking to the air in 1937. Several models and extensive modifications followed, and in 1943-44 a number of the latest types were converted for the Naval Air Transport Service for the carriage of cargo and passengers. This wartime fleet, based at San Franciscos Treasure Island and at Pan Americans North Beach facility, now part of New Yorks La Guardia Airport, performed vital transport services across the Atlantic and throughout the Pacific. Flown by contracted Pan Am crews, the Sky Giant saw its share of action. On one notable occasion Captain Bill Moss and his crew landed in heavy seas to rescue 48 survivors from a torpedoed merchantman, lifting off in a 15ft swell to fly the oil-soaked seamen 300 miles to safety.

| Defence of the Realm by Robert Taylor
In the azure skies above London and the south-eastern Shires of England
during the long, hot summer of 1940, a small band of RAF fighter pilots,
substantially out-numbered, and against all odds, flew and fought a savage
aerial battle in defence of the Realm. Their success in repelling the
might of the Luftwaffe has become legend. They were Churchill’s FEW.
Fresh from the heat of battle after a dog-fight over the city, No. 85
Squadron’s C.O., Peter Townsend, levels off and turns his Hurricane for
home to re-fuel, re-arm, and rejoin the fight. A symbolic portrayal paying

| Text for the above print:
All through the long hot summer of 1940 they crossed the Channel from
stolen bases in northern France, coming in mighty swarms to deliver their
deadly cargo. Bombers and dive-bombers, single-seat fighters and fast
twin-engined attack aircraft, their menacing shapes glinting with
swastikas and black crosses, blackening the summer sky. Over 3000 aircraft
were at the disposal of the boastful Luftwaffe supremo, Hermann Goering.
Within just a matter of weeks, he promised Hitler, the RAF would be
annihilated, allowing the invasion of Britain to proceed unhindered, and
Britain would become the final piece of the jigsaw giving Nazi domination
throughout Europe.
Against the might of German airpower stood less than 600 Spitfire and
Hurricane fighters, and as many young pilots determined to the man to
defend their homeland. And so commenced the battle that was to develop
into the greatest aerial conflict in history. Always outnumbered, often
flying six sorties a day, the RAF's young fighter boys flew themselves to
the point of exhaustion. Pilot losses forced desperate squadron commanders
to take youngsters into combat, some with just a few hours on fighters.
They flew and fought like tigers and they paid a heavy price, but never
did they lose their spirit. |
