Yeah I was really into aviation art then.  I got that one and Eagles over the Rhine.  My favorite was probably "Hot Pursuit" by Trudgian.  Got several others back then too.  Couple years ago I got a couple Wade Meyers prints.. including "One Man Air Force" and "Mustangs at Dawn" which is just a great print.

I have a copy of "Not my time to die" signed by Bob Johnson and the artist (who's name escapes me right now)

Also have "Thunderbolt Strike"- I think that's a Taylor.

And 2 Ken Fox pencils- P-51 Mustang featuring John Meyer and George Preddy of the 352nd FG, and P-47 Thunderbolt featuring Gabby. 

And no, I'm not selling :)

 Jim Laurier, same artist as Summer's Tide. He imo is a second tier aviation artist. I believe the print is sold out. Thunderbolt Strike is a Taylor and is still available. His latest P-47 print "Wolfpack is a a nicer print.

I have collected Aviation Art for Years.

I have Hostile Skys  (P38s 190s', and B24s)

When Prayers are answered (Two Jugs forming near a crippled B17 over the channel) to escort home.

A Print of JG/1 190s rtb over Holland after a successful buff intercept sortie.

Target of Opportunity a P47D25 shown pulling up after straffing a Locomotive (Proof)

And a fantastic drawing by Reddg titled Thunderbolts Playgound (P47s and 190s)

These were done by Trudgeon, Taylor, and Phillips.  I can't recall the D25 artist (not home)

I got in early on it.. well mid 90s..

Birthday present from the wife.  Great framing choice as well, the frame is wood and has the same color and pattern as the paint on the 109s.  I can post a picture tonight.  After the wife (museum curator) and I picked out the frame and she ensured it was going to have all the conservator based glass, backing, etc.. We came back to pick it up a week later and they had it on an easel in their front window on display, said they had several people stop in and look at it.  Its a real nice print.. darn cheeky of them though.

Great print as well goes in the $1500 range, Knights on the Eastern Front is another nice print with some amazing autographs.

Another nice print is "Birth of a Legend" by Taylor.   I have the Knight's Cross Edition.  Signed by Erich Hartmann, Günther Rall, Hugo Broch, Hermann Buchner, Alfred Grislawski, Viktor Petermann, Ernst-Wilhelm Reinert, Edmund 'Paule' Rossmann, and Erich Rudorffer.
