Robert Taylor has painted a magnificent reconstruction of a mission during the final stages of that momentous conflict.  Depicted are B-29s of the 499th Bomb Group, 73rd Wing of the 20th Air Force.  After a daylight raid on Tokyo, showing all the telltale signs of combat over the target, a Wing of the world's largest and fastest-ever piston-engined bombers make their long over-water journey home, still many hours away at Saipan Island.  At the extremity of their range, 'little friends', very-long-range P-51 Mustang escort fighters, peel off and head for home - leaving the mighty bombers to fend for themselves.
