Eagles Prey by Robert Taylor aviation art signed by 5 Eagle Squadron Aces For Sale

A classic piece paying tribute to the \'American Eagles\' of the legendary Eagle Squadrons

EAGLES PREY
By Robert Taylor

Mk Vb Spitfires of No. 71 Squadron race low across the French countryside after combat with Luftwaffe fighters in 1941. Lying prey to the Eagles is a Me109 brought down during the dogfight, the lead Spitfire pilot clearly seen glancing down at his victim as the group dashes for the Channel and home.

Motivated by the urge to fight for the cause of freedom, a swashbuckling sense of adventure, and a pure love of flying, this happy band of warriors set standards of courage, skill and fortitude that today are legendary. They were the American Eagles. This superb print was released in 1991 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary year of the formation of the Eagle Squadrons, their first aerial combats and their top-scoring achievements.
