America Strikes Back by Robert Taylor
The very first air combat fought by American pilots following the surprise attack upon Pearl Harbor. In less than one hour America struck back in a war that was to end in total victory. As the assault mounted on the Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, simultaneously the air base at Wheeler Field came under heavy attack. Two young USAAF pilots, Kenneth Taylor and George Walsh, quickly got their P-40 Tomahawks airborne. Winging southwards towards Ewa Field they ripped into a dozen or more enemy planes attacking the marine field. Diving into the formation they each downed Val fighter-bombers. Robert Taylors painting shows Ken Taylor in his P-40 tomahawk, with George Walsh in close company, bringing down his second enemy aircraft on December 7, 1941, an Aichi D-3Al Val dive-bomber. In the background palls of smoke rise from Hangar 6 housing the naval float planes, and the up-turned battleship Oaklahoma.

Combat Rescue by Philip West.
Once downed by enemy fire in North Vietnam, surviving US pilots were largely dependent on brave Skyraider FAC and HH-53 Super Jolly helicopter crews to save them. On this occasion the crewman on the ground has just broken cover and is about to be winched to safety by the Super Jolly helicopter crew under the protective cover of the Douglas A-1 Skyraiders.

America Strikes Back by Robert Taylor
P-40 and Aichi D-3A1 in close combat. The very first air combat fought by
American pilots following the surprise attack upon Pearl Harbor. In less
than one hour America struck back in a war that was to end in total
victory. As the assault mounted on the Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor,
simultaneously the air base at Wheeler Field came under heavy attack. Two
young USAAF pilots, Kenneth Taylor and George Walsh, quickly got their
P-40 Tomahawks airborne. Winging southwards towards Ewa Field they ripped
into a dozen or more enemy planes attacking the marine field. Diving into
the formation they each downed 'Val' fighter-bombers. Robert Taylor's
painting shows Ken Taylor in his P-40 tomahawk, with George Walsh in close
company, bringing down his second enemy aircraft on December 7, 1941, an
Aichi D-3Al ' Val' dive-bomber. In the background palls of smoke rise from

den Hey and Earl Williams.
Viper Venom by Robert Taylor On May 31, 1999, F-16s from the 31st and 52nd Air Expeditionary Wings
ascended from the Aviano air base in northern Italy and headed toward the
Serbian forces that were on the move in Southern Kosovo. The F-16s were to
stop the Serbs in their ground offensive against the Kosovo Liberation
Army. It was a good day to be a NATO airman and a bad day to be a Serbian
soldier. Signed by Mike Boera, Dave Goldfein.
