Description

Stormbirds Rising – The Story Behind the Print

Robert Taylor’s Stormbirds Rising portrays Me 262s of III./JG7 during the final weeks of the Second World War.

Leutnant Hermann Buchner and fellow pilots are shown climbing after leaving their base at Parchim to intercept a large formation of American bombers. Below them, the River Havel winds through the countryside west of Berlin.

By April 1945 the Luftwaffe faced overwhelming Allied air strength as well as severe shortages of fuel, spare parts and trained pilots. The Me 262 nevertheless remained a significant threat to bomber formations during the closing stages of the war.

Every print is individually numbered and signed by Robert Taylor together with Oberst Hermann Buchner KC and Oberleutnant Wolfgang Wollenweber IC.
