    Description

    RED TAIL ESCORT
    By Richard Taylor
    A STUNNING LIMITED EDITION BY ONE THE WORLDS MOST COLLECTED AVIATION ARTISTS, PERSONALLY AUTOGRAPHED BY THE LEGENDARY 'FIGHTING RED TAILS'
    Despite lingering racial prejudice and some opposition within the Air Force, President Roosevelt had ordered the USAAF to form an all African American fighter pilot unit, its crews to be trained at Tuskegee in Alabama. To the surprise of their critics, the Tuskegee Airmen were to prove their detractors spectacularly wrong from the first day they went into action in Italy in May 1943. Their iron discipline earned this famous unit the respect and admiration of hundreds of bomber crews, and created a legend.
    THE SIGNATURES
    Richard Taylor’s striking piece depicts Tuskegee “Red Tail” pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group as they close in to escort home a damaged B-17 Fortress of the 483rd Bomb Group. Released in 2007, it has been endorsed by the signatures of SIX of the famous Tuskegee pilots who flew in combat during WWII:
    Brigadier General
    CHARLES MCGEE
    Lieutenant Colonel
    LEO R. GRAY
    Lieutenant Colonel
    GEORGE E. HARDY
    Lieutenant Colonel
    WILLIAM H. HOLLOMAN III
    Lieutenant Colonel
    ALEXANDER JEFFERSON
    Second Lieutenant
    LOWELL STEWARD
    Released in 2007, this is the perfect piece for collectors of WWII aviation and historic autographs. The edition is close to being sold out at the publisher so is a great acquisition at the original release price, before it moves onto the secondary market and prices start to climb.
