Thanks guys!

CC, that piece is by Robert Taylor titled Most Memorable Day. Adolf Galland is the subject (one of the 4 signs). The below statement was taken from Aviation Art from AviatorArt.com .....

Robert Taylor writes: "I met General Adolf Galland many times. In 1987 he and his wife Heidi did me the honor of flying from Germany to Washington DC to attend the opening of my exhibition of aviation paintings at the Smithsonian. We traveled together, and during the trip spent much time talking about aviation in World War II.

There were three episodes in his distinguished career that specially stood out in the memory of this great fighter leader, and he spoke of them with great pride. It is these three episodes that I chose to portray in my Galland Tribute Trilogy. I painted them in reverse chronological order, leaving 'till last the period of his career of which he spoke most fondly. General Galland signed each print in the suite.

Galland's Squadron of Experts, his JV-44 Wing flying the incredible Me262 in 1945, pioneered the jet age, and having led the first jet fighting unit in combat meant a great deal to Dolfo. I painted that first. Next, because he was immensely proud of the role he played, I painted the famous Channel Dash, Galland's first assignment as a newly promoted General. Lastly, because Dolfo was a fighter pilot through and through, I portrayed his beloved JG-26. I believe this period was dearest to his heart.

The subject for the painting came from a Pilot Report written by Adolf Galland describing his most memorable day as a combat pilot. Trying many different approaches and making many sketches, I completed a final drawing prior to starting the painting. Further research uncovered that Dolfo was in fact flying an Me109F model that day and not an E as I thought. When my publishers said they wanted to make a print from this drawing I decided I would like to hand write the descriptive notes on each copy before signing and numbering the prints. I have also individually signed a letter for collectors which comes with each print."

Robert Talyor does some really impressive work. I have two of his aviation artwork, Swansong and the Abbeville Boys (Never get tired of looking at them).
