It should be noted that Robert Taylor normally produces pencil drawings in much smaller sizes; however, this being a very large drawing, and considered the fact that Robert is severely limiting his work in pencil at this point in his career, makes this a rare and especially collectable item that is also of definite historical significance.

This drawing has been matted and is shrink wrapped and ready for framing, and has signatures of 2 veterans that flew at the Brenner Pass The signatures are of Gene Koscinski who flew the Brenner Pass in B-25s of the 465th Bomb Group, and Art Fiedler, an 8 victory Ace, who flew P-47s with the 325th Fighter Group at the
Brenner Pass. Their respective unit emblems have also been mounted alongside their signatures.
