The Homecoming WW2 multiple signed WW2 Robert Taylor print. 34 x 24 inches. Numbered 33/600. ‘The Homecoming’ remains one of Robert Taylor’s most dramatic and creative pieces, capturing, as it does, a moving scene in 1942. A small group of stubby-nosed Fw190s from III./JG2, en-route to their home base to the north-east of Brest, have caught sight of a small group of U-boats from the Kriegsmarine’s 9th Submarine Flotilla returning to port. As they are at the end of their coastal sweep, the JG2 pilots decide to welcome the U-boats home and give the submariners a suitable fly-past salute. For the tired crews this was a moving ‘homecoming’ to the U-boat crews after such an arduous spell out in the North Atlantic. The Signatures For collectors with an interest in U-boats, acquiring the original signatures of U-boat captains is a difficult one, especially of those with a Knight’s Cross to their name! With the average life expectancy of a U-boat crew member of just a few weeks, U-boat commanders who survived the war were a rarity, especially in 1999 when this beautiful piece was published. The fact that three such men signed the edition published of this remarkable painting is just one of the reasons why the piece met with such great critical acclaim at the time. It is also why pristine copies are in so much demand today. First there was Siegfried Koitschka who first served under the legendary Erich Topp on U-552 before taking command himself. As captain of U-616 from 1942 to 1944 he undertook nine patrols lasting 204 days. Then there was Heinrich Schroeteler who commanded U-667 on four patrols into the North Atlantic and, at the end of the war, was captain of U-1023. And, finally, Helmut Witte, commander of U-159 who, on four patrols from 1941 to 1943, sank nearly 120,000 tons of Allied shipping. And if these three commanders were not enough of an attraction, three top Fw190 Aces also signed the prints. Oberst ADOLF DICKFELD KC WITH OAK LEAVES, Kapitanleutnant SIEGFRIED KOITSCHKA, Oberleutnant ERHARD NIPPA KC, Major ERICH RUDORFFER KC WITH OAK LEAVES AND SWORDS, Kapitanleutnant HEINRICH SCHROETELER, Korveitenkapitan HELMUT WITTE.

Moral Support Peter Townsend WW2 signed WW2 Robert Taylor print. 25 x 20 inches. Published in 1985, this moving piece has become one of the most recognisable aviation art prints published. With outstanding alacrity, the simple composition instantly conveys the ‘moral support’ given by an extraordinary leader and commanding officer to one of his men who is in trouble. That leader was the highly decorated and much respected Group Captain Peter Townsend CVO DSO DFC who commanded 85 Squadron during the Battle of Britain. In August 1940, just as the battle was reaching its height, he spotted one of his Hurricane pilots, Flying Officer Marshall, in a serious predicament. After suffering a mid-air collision with a Heinkel 111 during an intense air-to-air engagement over Kent, Marshall had lost a good part of his tail and port wing and was struggling to stay airborne. He was a sitting duck for any preying Bf109 but his CO came to the rescue. Providing protection and encouragement, Peter Townsend stayed with the young Flying Officer and escorted him all the way back to their base at Debden. It’s a moving story to go with a beautiful print that’s signed by the legendary Peter Townsend. Each print in this edition has been personally signed by the artist and Group Captain PETER TOWNSEND CVO DSO DFC. Condition report one small fox mark above prop of top aircraft. All autographs are genuine hand signed and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide.
