This is an amazing illustration by WWII artist Robert Taylor of AVG CHENNAULT'S FLYING TIGERS. It is a very large and heavy piece Boldly hand signed by 16 of the famous pilots on December 7, 1991 during the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. This rare historical piece includes signatures by David "Tex" Hill (18 1/4 Victories), Squad Leader Bob Neale (15 1/2 Victories), Charles Older the Charles Manson Trial Judge (18 1/4 Victories), Dick Rossi, R.T. Smith, Ken Jerstedt, Jim Howard, Joe Rosbert, Bob Layher, Charlie Bond, Donald Rodewald, Duke Hedman, Bob Raines, Bob Keeton, Eric Shilling, Ed Rector, and the artist Robert Taylor. Too many accolades for all these pilots known as the American Volunteer Group (AVG) in China, who flew P-40 Tomahawks that shot down 300 Japanese aircrafts and destroyed another 300. The signing was done at the King's Crown Gallery in Tustin, California. Here is a chance to own a remarkable piece of history that would look stunning hanging on the wall of a WWII buff or an Aviation collector.
The actual print measures 33"x25" and the Museum quality frame (The framing was $1,000) measures 40"x32".
