 Product Description

The Gallant Ohio by Robert Taylor
Overall Print Size: 32" x 23"
Edition size of 850
S/N by Artist and Five (5) defenders of Malta

 

Spitfires of 126 and 185 Squadrons successfully fend off a last desperate attempt by enemy aircraft to sink the crippled American tanker Ohio, still some 80 miles short of the beleaguered island of Malta. Badly damaged and barely afloat the Ohio, assisted by Royal Navy destroyers Penn, (foreground), Bramham (lashed to Ohio’s port side) and Ledbury, limped into port to a tumultuous welcome, on August 15, 1942. Her vital cargo of fuel kept the island’s air defences alive, and ultimately made the island secure.

Joining artist Robert Taylor in signing each print in the edition FIVE distinguished signatures representing The Royal Navy, The Fleet Air Arm and The Royal Air Force, who fought for the defence of Malta and the Malta convoys.

Signatures:

  • Flight Lieutenant TONY HOLLAND
  • Admiral of the Fleet LORD LEWIN
  • Wing Commander P.B. ‘LADDIE’ LUCAS
  • Lieutenant Commander G.G. MARTEN
  • Lieutenant PETER TWISS
