Description
The first in a collection of limited editions commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the conclusion of World War II.
In April 1945, with the War virtually over, P-51 Mustangs of the 357th Fighter Group sweep unopposed at low level through the beautiful Rhine valley. This is the first release in a pair of prints paying tribute the USAAF in Europe 1942 – 1945 and once again Robert Taylor has produced a classic painting reminiscent of some of his most collectible releases.
