‘As a fighter pilot who flew the types of aircraft that Robert Taylor paints so brilliantly, I marvel at his ability. He paints more than just aircraft; he paints with spectacular reality the whole vista of the sky that is the world of the fighter pilot. He ranks with the best.’

Air Vice Marshal J.E. ‘Johnnie’ Johnson, CB,CBE,DSO,DFC, Top scoring Allied fighter pilot of the Second World War.

This is the first book to be produced featuring a comprehensive selection of Taylor’s work and it is thus a publication of great significance. The book features in-depth visual and verbal studies of many of Robert’s most outstanding early paintings, along with a wealth of pencil sketches and photographs. Those already familiar with his work will be intrigued to discover for the first time the secrets of his techniques, and all aviation buffs will delight in the behind-the-scenes stories of life with the ‘Aces.’
