The first two I purchased at the Reno air races years ago.

Flight of Eagles by Robert Tayler, signed by Taylor and Adolf Galland.

Summer of '42 by John Shaw signed by Shaw and 17 Flying Tiger pilots.

Last I got at the Warbird convention (geeks with computors) in North Carolina. Franz Stigler, Charlie Brown and Gabby were guests. Gabby was a little full of himself. Charley and Franz were very nice. Print signed by Stigler. Who was small in stature. He was shot down seventeen times with 28 victories. Two in a 262. A very nice person.

I have the Stigler 109 print

He is the one who escorted Brown's shot up allied bomber

I have a signed photo of him next to a 262 - one of a kind

I have "duel of Eagles" by Robert Taylor signed by Galland and Bader. It was a gift back in the early 80's.

I have one of those, too! Signed by Bader and Galland. Bought them at the same time as one showing Bader's Hurricane chasing a Do-17. Both are hanging in my office.

Back then (and we're talking late 1970s), those were not terribly expensive. Yikes now!
