WW2 Pathfinder Henry Shackleton 405 sqn bomber command signed stunning 12 x 8 inch colour Lancaster in flight photo. In 1940 Henry left school and volunteered as a Pilot at the age of 18 and 9 months, receiving his Wings as a Pilot Officer at Cranwell College one week before he was 19. He was then sent to North Battlefield, Saskatchewan as a Flying Instructor . By coincidence his elder brother and sister were born in Saskatchewan, though he was born in the U.K. In 1943, with 1, 500 flying hours, he was posted to Middleton St George, Darlington, U.K. to join the R.C.A.F 419 Moose Squadron where his R.A.F. crew did 18 bombing trips in their Halifax to Germany and Italy without mishap. Thet then volunteered to join Pathfinders and were posted to R.C.A.F 405 Squadron at Gransden Lodge. 4 Pathfinder trips on Lancasters , target Berlin, went without mishap, but on the 5th one on January 30/31st 1944 they were attacked by two nightfighters, resulting in the loss of use by their port wing forcing him to shout "abandon aircraft". His Wireless Operator, Red Williams put on his navigator chest parachute, then decided to get a bar of chocolate from his desk, taking off his parachute to put it in his tunic, then replacing his chute at which he heard an explosion as Henry was blown out of the cockpit . ( He obviously was suffering from lack of oxygen as the Lancaster was in a spiralling dive ) He jumped out of the hole in the cockpit and landed in a Berlin street, immediately taken prisoner . After being blown out, Henry pulled on what he thought was my parachute release, but it was release of his seat harness! When it fell away he searched again and to his relief the parachute opened before he fell onto a bush in a Berlin Park. Henry hid by day and walked by night but on the third night, just after people had come out of their shelter during another bomb attack, some children surrounded him, and he was taken to the Burgermasters house, where kind ladies bathed his face and gave him food. (One could assume they were thinking of their own sons bombing the U.K. and he always feel this should be said.) However, a pompous and drunken Army Officer took Henry to a Berlin police cell (which was warm!) A few days later he met Red Williams at the Frankfurt Interrogation Centre, who told him he had been taken to a crashed Lancaster and understood their other five crew members had lost their lives. Thereafter Henry spent until March 1945, as a P.O.W. in Stalag Luft 3. They all took part in the long march to the Germans last stand in Berlin, from which 400 of them escaped from the Camp across the river to the Americans. Good condition.

WW2 RAF pilot Peter Twiss signed scarce 12 x 8 inch b/w Fairey Delta plane, in which he broke the World speed record in 1956. Rejected as a pilot by the Fleet Air Arm, he was accepted as a Naval Airman Second Class on the outbreak of the Second World War. After training at 14 Elementary and Reserve Flying Training School, Castle Bromwich, he went on to fly Fairey Battles and Hawker Harts. He underwent operational training at RNAS Yeovilton flying Blackburn Rocs, Blackburn Skuas and Gloster Gladiators. His next posting was at the School of Army Co-operation at Andover, flying Bristol Blenheims as a twin conversion. He was then posted to 771 Squadron in the Orkney Islands, flying a variety of naval aircraft on various duties, including met observations at 12000 ft in winter in the open cockpit of a Fairey Swordfish, and target-towing duties. He then served with the Merchant Ship Fighter Unit on catapult ships flying Hawker Hurricanes. These missions required the pilot to ditch or bale out, in the expectation of being recovered by a passing ship. During the Malta Convoys in 1942, he flew Fairey Fulmars with 807 Squadron, from the carrier HMS Argus. For his service, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC) in June 1942. Later in the year, the squadron converted to Supermarine Seafires flying from HMS Furious for the Operation Torch landings in North Africa. During the Allied landings in Algeria and Morocco, he added a bar to his DSC, gazetted in March 1943. By this time, he had shot down one Italian aircraft (a Fiat CR.42 on 14 May 1942) and damaged another. He then flew long-range intruder operations over Germany from RNAS Ford, developing night fighter tactics with the RAF's Fighter Interception Unit. Ford also acted as an operational research unit and so Twiss flew missions over occupied Europe, in Bristol Beaufighters and de Havilland Mosquitos, so putting the unit's theory into practice. He claimed two Junkers Ju 88s shot down during 1944. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide.

Veteran actor Ian Carmichael signed 150th ann Florence Nightingale 1970 FDC, English actor who worked prolifically on stage, screen and radio in a career that spanned seventy years. Born in Kingston upon Hull, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, he trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, but his studies-and the early stages of his career-were curtailed by the Second World War. After his demobilisation he returned to acting and found success, initially in revue and sketch productions. In 1955 Carmichael was noticed by the film producers John and Roy Boulting, who cast him in five of their films as one of the major players. The first was the 1956 film Private's Progress, a satire on the British Army; he received critical and popular praise for the role, including from the American market. In many of his roles he played a likeable, often accident-prone, innocent. In the mid-1960s he played Bertie Wooster in adaptations of the works of P. G. Wodehouse in The World of Wooster for BBC Television, for which he received mostly positive reviews, including from Wodehouse. In the early 1970s he played another upper-class literary character, Lord Peter Wimsey, the amateur but talented investigator created by Dorothy L. Sayers. Good condition.
