I have another Robert Taylor print that shows Duke and Driscoll in their famous duel in their F-4. I beleive they shot down two or three Migs in one encounter.

Lucky you! And you're correct, they got three MiGs in one mission.

There's a painting (I'm not sure if it's Taylor) called "Advantage Cunningham" that shows them engaged with the third MiG of the day...the F-4 looms in the foreground, turning left and down toward a distant MiG-17. The composition is very nicely done and there's a sense of the MiG fleeing desperately...the F-4 could outrun the MiG 17 with no problem.

That's the one I got! I bought it when I was visiting the Wright-Patterson museum several years ago. The print I have has a banner at the bottm commemorating some event they had at W-P in the 1980's.
