Into the
Teeth of the Wind,
by Robert Taylor
Bound for Tokyo, Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle launches his B-25
Mitchell from the heaving deck of the carrier USS Hornet on the morning of
18 April, 1942. Leading a sixteen-bomber force on their long distance one -
way mission, the Doolittle Raiders completed the first strike at the heart
of Imperial Japan since the infamous attack on Pearl Harbour four months
earlier. Together, they completed one of the most audacious air raids in
aviation history.
This is certainly one of
the most dramatic paintings that Robert has produced and Joining him in
individually signing each print in these editions are a number of the
Doolittle Raiders. Every print is individually hand-numbered.
