Dambuster 617 Squadron F/O Ray Grayston signed Dambusters 617 Squadron Formation 21st March 1943 commemorative FDC PM The Cenotaph Whitehall London conflicts of the 20th century we will remember 21 Mar 07. Raymond Ernest Grayston was born on 13 October 1918 in Dunsfold, Surrey, and worked as an automobile engineer before the war. Like many young men of his generation, Grayston was fascinated by flying and volunteered for the RAF at the beginning of the war. In a TV documentary to mark the 60th anniversary of the Dams Raid he described how he loved riding a motorbike at speed, and that this was one of the things which encouraged him into the air force. Initially he served as ground crew but then, along with many others who were mechanically minded, he was selected to train as a flight engineer on the new generation of heavy bombers which needed more personnel. He was posted to 50 Squadron in October 1942, and teamed up with Les Knight, who had just formed a new crew. He flew on some 18 operations with this crew before they were posted en bloc to 617 Squadron in March 1943. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Wilfred Herbert Dolphin was born in Duddeston, Birmingham in May 1882. The following was provided by the Victoria Times, B.C. in 1936: ‘One of Great Britain’s pioneer aviation pilots, Wing Commander W. H. Dolphin, who recently retired from the Royal Air Force is an interesting visitor to Victoria in the course of a holiday tour of the world. Wing Commander Dolphin is visiting this continent for the first time after a life spent mostly on service in the Far East, India, Afghanistan, Mesopotamia or Iraq as it is now known. Arabia, Egypt, Palestine, Turkey and Malta, each in turn having been the scene of his activities during the last thirty years. Wing Commander Dolphin has the distinction of having worn the uniforms of all three services. Originally serving in the Royal Indian Marine, now the Royal Indian Navy, as an engineer officer, he later transferred to the Indian Army in search of more excitement, and from there was seconded to the Royal Flying Corps seeing active service with all three forces. It was in 1910, while on leave from India, that Wing Commander Dolphin made his first flight with Claude Grahame White, flying in what he describes as “a sort of flying bird cage.” He decided to master the art of flying and in May 1911, was granted his pilot’s certificate by the Royal Aero Club of Great Britain, his certificate being number 82. He associated himself with the well known pioneer of aviation, Gordon England, and the late Col. James Valentine during the early part of 1911 and had many interesting experiences with them, both in England and in France. But it was not until he was seconded for service with the Royal Air Force that he was able to make use of his knowledge of aircraft and skill as a pilot. On the formation of the R.A.F. he was gazetted to a permanent commission and has been largely concerned with the technical development of that service, although he continued active flying until shortly before his retirement last January. Among the many interesting personalities he was associated with during his R.A.F. service was Air Commodore Raymond Collishaw, the former Nanaime boy who after a distinguished career during the war is now one of the outstanding figures in the air force in Great Britain. Wing Commander Dolphin has had a career of great interest which, although arduous was full of excitement and adventure. He numbers among his many experiences life in the palaces of various Oriental rulers, expeditions against tribesmen of the Northwest Frontier, and of Kurdistan, and epic flights over inaccessible mountain country where a forced landing generally meant instant destruction, as well as tiger shoots in Bengal and big game hunting in many other parts by way of diversion. Twice mentioned in despatches, Wing Commander Dolphin has in addition to the 1914-18 war medals, the Indian Northwest Frontier medal with three clasps and the Egyptian Order of the Nile, presented to him personally by the late King Fuad of Egypt at an investiture at the Abdin Palace in Alexandria in 1922.....’ Dolphin had initially been employed as an automobile engineer, and learned to fly in a Hanriot Monoplane at Brooklands, gaining his Royal Aero Club Aviator’s Certificate, 9 May 1911. Prior to this he had spent time in India, and was a Freemason and member of the Deccan Lodge. He initially served during the Great War as an Assistant Engineer with the Royal Indian Marine, before ultimately transferring to the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force (M.I.D.). Dolphin advanced to Captain in April 1918, and served as a pilot on the North West Frontier (M.I.D. for Afghanistan 1919). Dolphin advanced to Squadron Leader in June 1923, served in Egypt the following year [Order of the Nile, 4th Class], and was appointed Commanding Officer, Marine Section, Basrah, Iraq in 1926. During the latter posting he was in charge of RAF vessels using the waterways of Iraq. Dolphin advanced to Wing Commander in July 1931, and retired in January 1936. After carrying out his ‘World Tour’, Dolphin was recalled for service at the outbreak of the Second World War. He retired as Group Captain in August 1941.

Hasenclever, Walter, Bühnenautor und Lyriker, einer der wichtigsten Dramatiker des Expressionismus, starb 1940 im franz. Internierungskager durch Selbstmord (1890-1940). 4 eigh. Briefe m. U. "Walter Hasenclever". Zus. 5 S. Gr. 4to und 4to. Oberloschwitz bei Dresden, Vereinslazarett Dr. Tenscher's Sanatorium, 16.XI. - 25.XII.1916.Ekstatische Huldigungsbriefe aus dem Weltkriegs-Lazarett an die umschwärmte Schauspielerin Tilla Durieux, die sich für sein im Entstehen befindliches neues Stück (wohl "Antigone") interessiert. "... Auch Sie, mir unerreichlicher als alles, schweben in diesem Stück. Die große Schauspielerin, die der Achtzehnjährige in Berlin aus der Armut eines Hinterplatzes sah. Man dichtete, Student in Mietswohnungen; Automobile fuhren auf vor Theatern, wo Sie spielten! - Sie haben mich aus der tonlosen Gleichheit dieser Tage gerissen - Sie wollen den 'Retter' lesen. Ich will die Tragödie schreiben, die forensisch auf Kothurnen wandelnd, wieder ein neues Jahrhundert erweckt. Sie müssen bald aus Gräbern tauchen, von grösseren Massen umringt, das Antlitz der Zeit errichten. Ich lebe einer Extase zu, die Sie ahnen! ... Während ich schreibe, Kinofresken, der alten Götter Metamorphose, sehe ich schon Sie, in asphaltener Dämmerung der Preu ... [? Textlücke durch Lochung], Kriege auslöschen und Fackeln schwingen. Vielleicht war Ihr Brief die erste Melodie des Entstehens, Ursache und Wirkung zugleich, mehr als alles - Verwirklichung! [16.XII.] ... Aus Nisch hat mir ein Kamerad eine Kiste mit allerhand eßbaren Dingen mitgebracht, die es seit dem 30jährigen Krieg nicht mehr in Deutschland giebt. Ich habe mir erlaubt, eine kleine Kiste davon für Sie zu packen und bitte Sie, diese höchst unliterarische Sendung freundlich entgegnzunehmen [2.XII.] ... Seit zwei Tagen besitze ich eine wundervolle, kleine Spieldose aus der französischen Schweiz, die 6 Stücke hintereinander spielen kann und mir alle Freuden der Welt ersetzt. Als ich eben Ihren Brief zum zweiten Male las, habe ich sie hineinklingen lassen, zur Begleitung Ihrer Worte: Martha, Martha; Freischütz und Rigoletto - und jetzt wieder, während ich Ihnen schreibe: Ballsirenen! Zaubertöne von Kindheit und Tannenbaum ... Freitag Abend lese ich Dr. Neuberger den ersten Teil des neuen Stückes vor. Er soll und muß Ihnen davon erzählen, da ich es selber nicht kann. Alles, was ich bis heute geschrieben habe, war Vorbereitung für dieses eine Stück. Ich möchte nicht, daß außer Ihnen in Berlin noch ein Andrer vor der Vollendung davon weiß [6.XII] ... Am 29. Dezember spielt Ernst Deutsch in den Kammerspielen 'Armut'. Er war derjenige, der die Aufführung vom 'Sohn' in Deutschland durchgesetzt hat, nachdem es mir nirgends gelungen war, das zu erreichen. Er hat mir oft davon gesprochen, daß es ihn sehr freuen würde, wenn Sie ihn bei seinem ersten Auftreten in Berlin sehen würden. - ich arbeite am 2. Akt Antigone - aber noch immer ohne Ihr Bild! ... [25.XII.] - Die Tragödie "Antigone", die 1917 im Verlag von Paul Cassirer, dem Ehemann von Tilla, erschien, ist "Tilla Durieux zugeeignet". Hasenclevers Stück "Der Retter" war 1916 in nur 15 Exemplaren gedruckt worden, die der Autor an prominente Schriftsteller und Politiker verschickte. Tilla Durieux war zur Zeit dieses Briefes Ensemblemitglied am Königl. Schauspielhaus in Berlin. - Alle Teile gelocht.
