THUNDERBOLT STRIKE

Robert Taylor’s atmospheric piece depicts a flight of rugged P-47 Thunderbolts – Razorbacks of the 404th Fighter Group, 9th Air Force.

Ground-attack pilots went in low, did the job and got our fast! Having cleared the target area on a low-level attack on an airfield inland from Havre, Normandy, 1944, tracer rounds from ground defenses can be seen heading towards the aircraft, almost all of which have taken hits.

Each print has been signed by the artist along with THREE P-47 Pilots who flew in combat over Normandy:

Lieutenant Colonel JAMES J. HILL
Captain PAUL DOUGLAS
Colonel JOE MATTE
