ROBERT TAYLOR JV-44 Squadron of Experts Messerschmitt Me262 SOLD OUT RARE

  

"JV-44 SQUADRON OF EXPERTS" is a beautiful signed and numbered print by Robert Taylor from an edition limited to 1000 prints. In the entire history of fighter aviation there has never been a combat unit like JV-44. Commanded by a General, its pilots were made up, without exception of high scoring, highly decorated fighter aces, flying an aircraft so advanced that its technology was revolutionary.

In its brief life during the dying months of WWII it wrote its own short passage in history. As the Allied Forces drove inexorably towards Berlin, General Adolf Galland formed the new JV-44 wing to operate the Messerschmitt Me262 twin jet fighter in a last-ditch effort to stem the tide. The combination of mercurial leadership and advanced fighter aircraft became a magnet towards the Luftwaffe's elite, drawing a host of colorful high-scoring fighter pilots together for a'last fling' in combat, flying the new jet fighter. So brilliant was the collection of pilots Galland recruited that the Knights Cross was referred to as the squadron'badge'. The combination of skilled, experienced pilots, and an aircraft vastly superior to anything else in the air, gave the squadron immediate success. Robert Taylor's limited edition print "JV-44 SQUADRON OF EXPERTS" does superb justice to this unique and historic fighter wing, bringing to life again Adolf Galland's unique'Squadron of Experts' as they dive into attack at over 900km per hour. In addition to the artist, the print was individually signed in pencil by FOUR Luftwaffe Aces. This mint condition print has never been framed and, like all of our prints, has been stored flat. It measures 30" x 23½" and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. With arguably the largest secondary market inventory in the world, Classic Aviation & War Art might just have it!
