Then there was this one



I first saw it on the inside cover of my copy of P51 Mustang In Action in around 1980.

I have about 40 signed prints.  Mostly Robert Taylor and Robert Bailey.

Taylor's "Birth of a Legend" depicting Erich Hartmann.


Bailey's "Mustang Menace" depicting Arval Roberson and members of the 357 Fighter Group.

The drawing on the wall above the computer was done by a poster here RedDog (Joel).  He did it from a scan of a painting that was commissioned by the fellow flying the Swordfish....Mr. Geofrey Bird.

Both Joel and Mr. Bird signed it.

Here's a rare print by George Guzzi, "Thunder in the Sky" depicting Fred Christensen over Drummer Lake.
(It's not a great looking print, but it has Christensen's signature which makes it special.)
