OUT OF THE DRAGON’S DEN

By Richard Taylor

A TWO PRINT PORTFOLIO PAYING TRIBUTE TO THE LEGENDARY  DOOLITTLE TOKYO RAIDERS

It was the morning of Monday, 18 April 1942 and, taking a final look at the carrier rapidly disappearing into the distance, the B-25s headed west on what each of the five man crews knew was a one-way ride. With luck they might make it to Nationalist China but first they had an important mission to complete - destination Tokyo! 

Richard Taylor’s powerful painting depicts the scene immediately after the Raiders had carried out their mission. One of the last B- 25 Mitchell's, having successfully bombed its target, makes its escape towards mainland China. As the navigator sets the new course, their path takes them close to targets hit by other Raiders, dark columns of smoke rising rapidly from the burning oil and carnage below.

The thrilling story of Doolittle’s Tokyo Raiders is one most legendary and courageous missions of World War II.
