Leonard Harry Wells (British, b.1903, exh. 1922-1931) Portrait of Wing Commander (later Air Vice-Marshal) James Edgar "Johnnie" Johnson, CB, CBE, DSO and 2 Bars, DFC and Bar signed upper left hand corner "L H Wells / Lubeck '45" oil on canvas 49 x 59cm (19 x 23in) Provenance: By descent within the family of the sitter Other Notes: James (Johnnie) Johnson was the RAF Fighter Command's most successful pilot and one of the most highly-decorated in the Second World War. He shot down no fewer than 34 enemy planes as well as numerous other shared, probables or damaged. He was awarded a DSO with two subsequent Bars and a DFC with a later Bar. Curiously, the RAF was nearly deprived of his remarkable services for various reasons. Both his applications to join the Auxiliary Air Force were rejected. These were partly on medical grounds, but also on the basis of a modest background - his father was a policeman in Melton Mowbray but had progressed to the rank of Inspector and Johnnie himself had been to Loughborough Grammar School. There was a popular misconception that fighter pilots were devil-may-care upper crust playboys but, in fact, of the 3000 or so pilots who took part in the Battle of Britain, only some 200 had been to Pubic School. A third hurdle was encountered by Johnson when, in training at Hawarden in North Wales following acceptance into the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, he crash-landed two Spitfires within four days, on both occasions the result of errors on his own part. He feared rejection but, mercifully for the RAF and the country, these transgressions and the earlier prejudices were overlooked and he qualified. This was in August 1940 when the Battle of Britain was approaching its peak and the RAF realised that with production of Spitfires having been dramatically increased they could afford loss of aircraft much more easily than loss of pilots. Johnson was still being plagued by an improperly-set broken collarbone from his rugby playing days and opted for an operation prior to taking up position in a squadron. He thus did not join 616 Squadron until December 1940, by which time the Battle of Britain was over, although he had very briefly been posted to 19 Squadron where one of his fellow pilots was Douglas Bader. Due to 616 Squadron's role within Fighter Command all of Johnson's successes were German fighters. In a MkIA Spitfire he is credited with downing a Messerschmitt Me109 and a second one in a MkIIA Spitfire. He then moved on to a Spitfire MkVb in which he shot down a further five Me109s together with, perhaps somewhat improbably, two Focke-Wolf Fw190s. This was an extremely formidable German fighter introduced in 1942 and considered by some pilots and RAF High Command to be so superior to the MkV Spitfire that the days of the Spitfire marque may be numbered. It was therefore all the more impressive that Johnson should somewhat disprove that by shooting two of them down. He did, however, nearly come to grief at the hands of a Fw190 in August 1942 when, providing support for the disastrous Dieppe Raid, having shot down one Fw190 and had a third share in another, he was chased by another and had to take drastic and extremely dangerous evasive action to avoid being shot down himself. Mercifully, the MkIX Spitfire arrived with the RAF just in time. It was a match for the Fw190 and for Johnson and for many of his fellow pilots it was the favourite marque of all the Spitfires they flew. Johnson principally flew two of the MkIXs, registrations EN398 and MK392. Surprisingly, in these and other MkIXs, he shot down more Fw190s, eighteen, than the competent but less-lethal Me109, seven. By 1945 Johnson had moved on to MkXIV Spitfires. He, like many of his contemporaries, felt that the Griffon-engined aeroplane was a fine machine but that, without the iconic Merlin engine, the MkXIV was not a "proper" Spitfire. One of the MKXIVs he flew, registered MV268, still exists and flies registered now as MV293, based at Duxford, Cambridgeshire. He did not add to his scoring tally in a MkXIV. Sally, Johnson's black labrador, was with Johnnie Johnson on operations in mainland Northern Europe from just after D-Day untll the end of the War. She did not fly, nor fly with him in his Spitfire - it might have been a little cramped in the cockpit and he needed to swivel his head around to keep a sharp lookout for the "Hun in the Sun" ! “I found the engineer officer and together we had a look at her, gleaming and bright in a new spring coat of camouflage paint. Later I took her up for a few aerobatics to get the feel of her, for this was the first time I had flown a Mk IX. She seemed very fast, the engine was sweet and she responded to the controls as only a thoroughbred can. I decided that she should be mine, and I never had occasion to regret that choice.” Wing Commander James Edgar “Johnnie” Johnson talking about his first encounter with EN398 Condition appears fine - under glass.
