Eagle Force by Robert Taylor Aviation art signed by 3 WWII Eagle Squadron Pilots For Sale

A Stunning Tribute to the American Eagles who fought with the RAF during WWII

EAGLE FORCE
By Robert Taylor

Robert Taylor’s magnificent painting features Spitfire Vbs of 71 Squadron RAF as they return to their base at North Weald, September 1941, the young American pilots perhaps taking a brief moment to marvel at the myriad colors of the late evening sun – welcome relief from the perils of recent air combat with the Luftwaffe high above the English Channel.

Across the Atlantic, America followed the savage encounters of the Battle of Britain, knowing that soon it too would become involved in the war. Unable to wait, a small band of Americans decided their time had come: Some 240 young US pilots, motivated to fight for the cause of freedom, made their way to England to fly with the RAF. Volunteers all, many were to become leading Aces in the RAF and later the USAAF; many paid the ultimate price, more than a third never returning home.
By September 1940, these carefree young flyers were united into a re-formed 71 Squadron, the first of three "Eagle Squadrons" and the first to go into action, followed shortly by 121 and 133 Squadrons. Showing the same steely determination that had carried their British comrades through the Battle of Britain, they were quickly embraced into the fold of the RAF, their ferocious reputation in combat endearing them to the British people. The legend of the American Eagles was born.
