Eagle Attack by Robert Taylor features Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Me109s during the Battle of Britain.
Southern England during the summer of 1940 - Me109s peel off to attack Spitfires which have in turn dived out of the sun upon a large formation of He111 bombers.
Aldertag – Eagle Day – Hitler’s code name for the start of the Luftwaffe’s great and decisive aerial offensive intended to bring the RAF to its knees. This momentous day, 13th August 1940, saw twelve hours of almost continuous battle as the Luftwaffe staged their most concentrated attacks.
Originally released in 1990 and, with Summer Victory and Hurricane Force, was one of Robert Taylor's famous trilogy of prints marking the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
Robert Taylor's Limited Edition, Eagle Attack, is signed by 4 of the Luftwaffe's great Battle of Britain fighter Aces:
Generalleutnant Adolf Galland KC with Oak Leaves Swords and Diamonds
Generalleutnant Günther Rall KC with Oak Leaves and Swords
Generalmajor Dietrich Hrabak KC WITH OAK LEAVES

Condition - this print has previously been framed and there is a strip of tape along the top edge of the back of the print, it has caused a noticeable ridge in the top 18-20 mm of the white border (the border is 50 mm in total) which is visible from the front of the print. There are a few other very minor handling blemishes in the border areas. Fortunately the print was not on display for very long and there is no evidence of fading - the image area is in perfect condition and the faults would be concealed by framing. This would be ideal for someone wanting a modestly priced example of this magnificent print for framing and display.
It comes with the original Certificate of Authenticity. Normal price for a perfect example of this print would be around £500.
The print is covered by our 'No Quibble Guarantee' so if its not as you expected you can return it for a full refund.
