In civilian life, after leaving school, Roy took an apprenticeship as a Colliery Clerk. At the time of the 1939 census, he lived with his parents at 1 Pinfold Lands, Mexborough.Roy joined the Royal Airforce and was given the service number 1626273. After training as an air gunner, he was posted to 49 Squadron in December 1943. His crew was made up of the following men:John Sanders (Pilot)Tom Nutley (Flight Engineer)Jock Barron (Navigator)Arthur Ward (Wireless Operator)H G (Al) Allen (Bomb Aimer)Roy Machin (Air Gunner)Ralph Briers (Air Gunner)The crew flew a total of 14 Operations with the Squadron. On their first operation, Machin, who was the mid-upper gunner and Briers, the rear gunner, engaged and likely shot down an enemy night fighter. In his oral interview with Peter Hart of the Imperial War Museum, Briers describes the incident.On an Operation to Augsburg, their Lancaster was hit by fire. Possibly cannon shell from a night fighter or an overenthusiastic Lancaster gunner. The aircraft was badly damaged, and for his part in saving the Lancaster, Machin was awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal, the citation which was announced in the London Gazette on the 5th of May is below:1299165 Sergeant Ralph Algernon BRIARS, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No. 49 Squadron. *578343 Sergeant Arthur WARD, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No. 49 Squadron. 1626273 Sergeant Roy MACHIN, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No. 49 Squadron. These airmen were rear gunner, wireless operator and mid-upper gunner, respectively, of an aircraft detailed to attack Augsburg one night in February 1944. When approaching the target, the aircraft was attacked by a fighter and sustained severe damage. The controls were affected, and the- bomber went into a steep dive. As the pilot and flight engineer endeavoured to regain control. Sergeants Briars, Machin and Ward directed their efforts towards extinguishing the fire. Bullets were exploding in the ammunition ducts, but completely ignoring this danger, they laboured strenuously to beat out the flames. As the task was accomplished, Sergeant Briars collapsed through lack of oxygen. Sergeant Machin promptly tended his comrade whilst Sergeant Ward returned to his turret, ready to defend his aircraft if again necessary. In the face of a most trying situation, these airmen maintained perfect discipline and displayed courage and resolution of a high order.The crew were transferred to 617 in March 1944.On the 12th of November 1944, Machin and his crew in Lancaster I. ME 562 (K) took part in Operation Catechism, the purpose being to destroy the German Battleship Tirpitz.Flying Officer Sanders noted:'Bombing Tirpitz. 1 x Tallboy. 0842 HRS. 14,000ft. Two bombs, one of which was ours, went down together, and both appeared to hit the edge of the ship near its centre. Bombing appeared generally concentrated.

Ray Lowry (British, 1944-2008): A Sketchbook Containing Original Sketches Relating To The Clash On Tour In The USA,1979,approx. 60pps., containing mostly pen and black ink sketches/studies but approximately fifteen coloured ink or pastel sketches, a few landscapes but mostly partial or whole studies of venue interiors and various members of The Clash onstage, including St. Paul Civic Center, 11-12th September and Detroit Masonic Temple, 17th September, some pages variously annotated and with a few comments, such as, The Human Bomb - A man making a living blowing himself up then being revived with oxygen - Americans do the most fucking stupid thing you can as loudly and bad as possible for money, some sketches with schematics for later colouring, hardback cover affixed with a backstage pass for Detroit, 17th September, size A4Footnotes:Provenance:Offered for sale by the artist's son.Cartoonist, illustrator and satirist Ray Lowry first met the Clash at the Electric Circus, Manchester in 1976, during the 'Anarchy' tour with the Sex Pistols. Struck by the Clash's attitude and music, Lowry befriended the band and this led to them inviting him to accompany them on their US tour in September-October 1979. Joe Strummer nicknamed Ray 'war artist', comparing him to a war correspondent, recording what he saw whilst on the road with them. This, and the following lot in this auction, are from a series of sketchbooks compiled on the tour. Ray had previously become involved with the burgeoning UK underground press in the late 60s and provided cartoons to the likes of Oz and International Times. This later led to a long relationship with the New Musical Express (NME), producing a weekly cartoon strip and whilst on the Clash's US tour he provided regular illustrated reports on events for the paper.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Kirsty Harris Totem, 2022 Oil on Card Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About   Harris explores nuclear explosions as cultural, historical and iconic symbols in her practice. Referencing the scale, beauty and abhorrent nature of the atom bomb she delves into the periphery of the subject, the myths, characters and surrounding evidence. She works across a wide range of media from vast oil paintings, tapestries & projections to delicate paintings on glass and ceramics you could hold in your hand. She is fascinated by the beauty and awe of the disrupted landscape, the dust, the glow. The violent & repellent force of the explosion.   Education   BA/Hons Fine Art - Cass School of Art, London, 2001   Select Exhibitions/Awards   SOLO EXHIBITIONS AND TWO MAN SHOWS 2023 THAT LETHAL CLOUD, Studio KIND, Devon, UK. 2019 A FOUL AND AWESOME DISPLAY, Vane Gallery, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. 2017 PARADICE LOST (sic), Plymouth Art Weekender, Plymouth School of Creative Arts. 2016 HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING (1945-2016), CFCCA, Manchester.

A Second War O.B.E. group of five awarded to Captain J. H. George, Mercantile Marine, who was awarded the O.B.E. for his services when his vessel, the S.S. Devis, was attacked in 1941, and was subsequently killed in action during a further attack on 21 November 1943 The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, O.B.E. (Civil) Officer’s 2nd type breast badge, silver-gilt; 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Africa Star; War Medal 1939-45, the campaign awards all later engraved ‘Capt. J. H. George O.B.E. R.N.’, with named Ministry of Transport condolence slip, extremely fine (5) £400-£500 --- O.B.E. London Gazette 17 March 1942: Captain John Henry George, Master. ‘The ship served in Mediterranean convoys and in the Greek campaign. Although she was hit by a bomb, the Master, on his last voyage to Greece, brought his ship safely to port, and discharged his cargo. He showed high qualities of determination and seamanship.’ John Henry George was born in Fishguard, Cardiganshire, in 1882, and first went to sea in September 1900. During the Second World War he was Master of the M.V. Devis, owned by the Lamport Holt Shipping Line. He was awarded the O.B.E. for his services when his vessel was attacked by hostile aircraft on 2 April 1941, whilst transporting stores and troops, both British and Australian. The vessel, on passage from Alexandria, was hit by one of a stick of bombs on the rear well deck, killing 8 soldiers and wounding another 10, besides causing considerable damage to the ship itself. Captain George succeeded in bringing his damaged vessel to the port of Piraieus, where it was unfortunate enough to be berthed between two ammunition ships and near some trucks of TNT. These all exploded when hit during an enemy air raid, causing extensive damage to the ship. Captain George subsequently received personal congratulations from the Commander-in-Chief Mediterranean, Admiral A. B. Cunningham. The S.S. Devis eventually reached Alexandria and sailed to India for repairs. In November 1943, Captain George was again Master of S.S. Devis, sailing in convoy to his home port of Liverpool, in November 1943. Ominously, he writes in the last entry of his journal on 17 November: ‘For three days now there has been a Jerry reconnaissance plane around having a look at us. Today he had a damn good look too. We could see him circling round the convoy taking tab of all. We haven’t seen a plane of ours for three days. Can’t understand where they are. They must know that we are being shadowed and one would think there would be some round now. There was a Sub in the vicinity too but luckily (touch wood) there has been no attack yet but I would not be a bit surprised if we don’t get an attack in one form or another later.’ The attack came four days later, on 21 November, when 25 long range He-177 bombers set out to attack the convoy. Twenty reached the target, three being shot down and another two driven off, but not before they had released 40 Hs-293 glider bombs, sinking the freighter Marsa and damaging the S.S. Devis, amongst whose casualties was Captain George, killed. He was subsequently buried at sea and is recorded by name in the Merchant Navy Roll of Honour. Sold with a good quantity of original documentation including the recipient’s O.B.E. Bestowal Document; Continuous Certificate of Discharge for the period 1900-1918; personal journal for the period October to November 1943; official letters concerning award of the O.B.E.; numerous letters, telegrams, photographs, and damage reports; and other ephemera.

A Great War ‘Western Front’ M.C. and Second Award Bar group of five awarded to Captain V. G. Gundrey, 14th (Swansea) Battalion, Welsh Regiment, who was awarded the M.C. for leading the successful raid on High Command Redoubt in November 1916, and the Second Award Bar for the assault across the River Selle in October 1918; he later becoming a successful film screenwriter, producer and director for Gaumont British Film Corporation, and was the screenwriter for the film of R. C. Sherriff's Great War play ‘Journeys End’ in 1930 Military Cross, G.V.R., with Second Award Bar, unnamed as issued; British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaves (Capt. V. G. Gundrey.); Defence and War Medals 1939-45, good very fine (5) £2,400-£2,800 --- M.C. London Gazette: 10 January 1917: ‘For conspicuous gallantry in action. He led a successful raid with great courage and determination. He captured twenty prisoners and accounted for many of the enemy.’ M.C. Second Award Bar London Gazette: 15 February 1919: ‘For marked gallantry and devotion to duty in the attack across the river Selle on 20 October 1918. He went forward under heavy fire to ascertain the position and finding two companies not quite on the final objective he led them forward and filled a gap in the line. He then went around the whole line and sited the fire trenches, his runner getting shot by his side. His coolness and capacity were of the utmost value and materially assisted in the success of the day.’ Victor Gareth Gundrey was first commissioned into 12th (Reserve) Battalion the Welsh Regiment on 5 November 1915, being posted to the 14th (Swansea) Battalion of the same regiment for service overseas, landing in France on 21 July 1916, and joining his battalion in the field on 24 July 1916. He was awarded the Military for leading the famous raid by the 14th Battalion the Welsh Regiment on ‘High Command Redoubt’ on the night of 17th November 1916. The History of the Welch Regiment 1914 – 1918 by Brigadier General T.O. Marden gives further details: ‘An unusually large number of men was employed - six subalterns and 145 other ranks of the 14th Welsh, together with one subaltern and 12 other ranks of the Royal Engineers. For six weeks the raiders lived together and trained together on a replica dug in the reserve area. Every night a small party under a subaltern went out into No Man’s Land to familiarise itself with the ground, and to locate the position of the flanking machine guns, to deal with those trench mortars were brought up specially. The Divisional Artillery cut the wire on a wide front, so as not to indicate the selected point of attack. Corps artillery was placed to keep down retaliatory bombardment on the night of the raid, while the guns of the neighbouring Divisions also assisted by demonstration. Within the 14th Welsh every detail was thought out minutely. Beyond the ordinary raid precautions such as blackened faces, removal of badges, dirtied buttons, use of knobkerries etc., luminous discs were carried to be planted at the points of exit from the enemy trenches, mats were taken in case the barbed wire was not sufficiently cut, dugout searchers were provided with electric torches and sandbags to collect documents, officers had horns instead of whistles to sound signals, policemen were stationed in No Man’s Land to bring back prisoners, our own front trenches were cleared to escape the retaliatory bombardment, and special duckboard trenches were laid for the three columns as the ordinary communication trenches were too waterlogged to admit of their being used by so many men. Twenty minutes before zero on the night of 17 November 1916, the raiders were all assembled quietly in No Man’s Land. Only those who have taken part in an attack of this sort can appreciate the tense minutes of waiting when a chance enemy patrol might upset the work of weeks of training. But on this occasion, all went well. After a terrific burst of artillery fire for three minutes in answer to which the enemy retaliatory bombardment fell harmlessly on our empty trenches, the two waves of raiders swept over the German positions, the first making for the support trenches, while the second dealt with the redoubts. To their amazement the latter was found to be a concrete fortress with steel doors to the dugouts, while the surrounding trenches had concrete faces - a great contrast to our wretched efforts. But the bombardment had played havoc with the redoubt, and when the Royal Engineers had also effected some explosions, this strong point was but a shadow of its former self. Lieutenant Gareth Gundrey, who commanded the raiders, and who received the Military Cross for his gallant leading, wrote in an account of the venture: “Like fish from shells the Germans were hauled forth on steel points from their hiding places. They were presented with the alternative of surrendering or being blown to pieces by hand grenades. Most of them chose the former, some of them suffered the latter. On the right flank of the attack there was a little hand-to-hand fighting, the result being that the German list of that dead was that night increased by a few names.” [In his personal notes on the raid on High Command Redoubt Gareth Gundrey makes mention of his orderly, Private John H. Jones, whose medals are included with this lot]. The party remained in the enemy trenches for 40 minutes, at that time almost a record for a raid. Twenty prisoners, a machine gun, and a hundred weight of plunder, containing much valuable intelligence, was the harvest reaped with the loss to us of two men killed by a trench mortar bomb as they were entering our trenches and eight men wounded. Congratulations poured in, including a special one from the Army Commander, General Sir Herbert Plumer.’ The Divisional Commander later issued a Special Order of the Day congratulating the battalion, and Sir Douglas Haig mentioned the raid in his next communique. The success of the Swansea Battalion in the raid on High Command Redoubt became the model example at the Second Army School of Instruction on how to train for and conduct trench raids in future. Gaudry was awarded a Second Award Bar to his Military Cross for his gallantry and devotion to duty in the attack across the river Selle on 20 October 1918. He was severely wounded in action at Morval Forest on 4 November 1918, necessitating the amputation of his left leg, and was evacuated to England in the Hospital Ship, St. Denis. He relinquished his commission on account of wounds on 22 October 1919, retaining the rank of Captain. After the war Gundrey became a successful film producer and director, and for most of his working life he was engaged by the Gaumont British Film Corporation. Amongst his more notable works was as screenwriter and director of ‘A Symphony in Two Flats’, in 1930, starring Ivor Novello; as screenwriter for the film of R. C. Sherriff's Great War play, ‘Journeys End’, in 1930; and as screenwriter and director of 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' in 1932. During the Second World War, despite the loss of his leg, Gundrey was granted an Emergency Commission in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, Administrative and Special Duties Branch, as probationary Pilot Officer, on 3 July 1941, and was promoted War Substantive Flying Officer on 3 July 1942, and Flight Lieutenant on 1 January 1946. He remained in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve until he relinquished his commission in 1954, retaining the rank of Flight Lieutenant. He died in Woking, Surrey, on 22 July 1965.

A Second War Air Bomber’s ‘Immediate’ D.F.M. awarded to Sergeant F. C. Bunclark, 61 Squadron, Royal Air Force, as also to the other six crew members of a Lancaster aircraft which, having completed its allotted mine-laying sortie in the Baltic, was severely damaged and set on fire by anti-aircraft fire and then attacked by enemy aircraft while crossing Denmark on the return home; the A.O.C. afterwards remarked, ‘It is almost inconceivable that any crew would have carried on for the four hundred mile sea crossing and land without further incident.’ Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (657816 F. C. Bunclark. R.A.F.) toned, good very fine £1,800-£2,200 --- D.F.M. London Gazette 20 October 1942: Joint citation: ‘1162032 Flight Sergeant Paul CAMPBELL, No. 61 Squadron. 1390988 Sergeant Stanley Dennis GUNNELL, No. 61 Squadron. 1312943 Sergeant Ernest Humphries CORBETT, No. 61 Squadron. 657816 Sergeant Frank Charles BUNCLARK, No. 61 Squadron. 1268257 Sergeant Cyril Hugh COAKLEY, No. 61 Squadron. 1128846 Sergeant Sydney SMITH, No. 61 Squadron. 968521 Sergeant Stanley James THOMPSON, No. 61 Squadron. These airmen were members of the crew of a heavy bomber [Lancaster] detailed for an operational mission one night in September, 1942; Flight Sergeant Campbell was captain and first pilot. The allotted task was completed successfully but, whilst on the return flight, the aircraft was hit by anti-aircraft fire. A shell exploded in the bomb compartment, starting a large fire and setting some flares and distress signals alight. Simultaneously, another shell burst in the nose of the aircraft, shattering the perspex as well as the major portion of the perspex of the pilot's cupola. The resultant rush of air through the aperture swept away all the navigational charts and maps and flung Sergeants Gunnell and Bunclark backwards on to the floor of the aircraft. Both suffered facial burns as did the pilot, the navigator, the wireless operator and the mid-upper gunner. The aircraft became full of smoke and it was attacked by 2 enemy fighters. The pilot could not see his instruments and the aircraft went out of control and fell 2,000 feet before Flight Sergeant Campbell regained control and evaded further attacks by diving and reaching cloud cover. Meanwhile the flames in the fuselage had extended, causing ammunition to explode in all directions. Despite this, Sergeants Corbett, Bunclark and Smith fought their way through the flames to the rear turret to extricate Sergeant Thompson who, despite suffering from a broken leg and being unable to operate his guns, had greatly assisted his captain by reporting the position of the attacking aircraft. Sergeant Coakley, in spite of his injuries, and with amazing skill in the circumstances, established wireless contact with base and continued to obtain bearings throughout the homeward flight. When this country was reached, Flight Sergeant Campbell, who had displayed fine captaincy, resumed the controls and landed the damaged aircraft safely with the undercarriage retracted and without the aid of flaps. Throughout this perilous flight, this gallant crew displayed conduct in keeping with the highest traditions of the Royal Air Force.’ Sergeant Bunclark’s individual recommendation dated 27 September 1942, states: ‘Sergeant Bunclark was Air Bomber to Flight Sergeant Campbell on the night of 24th/25th September 1942. When the aircraft was hit by anti-aircraft fire, one shell burst in the nose of the aircraft when Sergeant Bunclark was actually in the nose map-reading. The force of the explosion blew out the perspex of the nose and the resultant draught blew Sergeant Bunclark out of the nose of the aircraft back beside the pilot where he was deposited on the floor of the aircraft. He received considerable facial burns and shock but immediately proceeded to the scene of the main fire in the fuselage and assisted the Navigator and mid-upper gunner in fighting the fire. He also assisted in extricating the rear gunner from the tail turret and carrying him through the fire to the rest chair. He assisted the Navigator in checking the navigation and his efforts undoubtedly contributed to the safe return of the aircraft and crew. It is considered that Sergeant Bunclark displayed outstanding gallantry and devotion to duty and contributed greatly to the safe return of the aircraft and crew. Remarks by A.O.C. After having inspected this aircraft, I most strongly support this recommendation. It is almost inconceivable that any crew would have carried on for the four hundred mile sea crossing and land without further incident.’ Flight Sergeant Campbell was an experienced Pilot having completed 22 sorties and 138.55 flying hours, and Sergeant Gunnell, Second Pilot had completed 6 sorties and 47.05 flying hours. For the remainder of the crew, however, this was only their second sortie, each having completed just 8.15 flying hours. Bunclark, Coakley and Corbett were amongst the crew of the Lancaster I ‘W4244’ of No. 61 Squadron, and flown by Pilot Officer Paul Campbell, D.F.M., which encountered extremely poor visibility on return from a sortie and following a misjudged approach to Exeter, crashed at Diamonds Farm, near Honiton on 11 November 1942, killing all seven crew. Sergeant F. C. Bunclark is buried in Lustleigh Church Cemetery. Sold with copied research including individual recommendations for each of the seven D.F.Ms.

A Second War Air Bomber’s D.F.M. group of six awarded to Flight Sergeant (later Pilot Officer) H. G. Webb, 196 Squadron, Royal Air Force Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (1163111 F/Sgt. H. G. Webb, R.A.F.); 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star, 1 clasp, France and Germany; Africa Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, these last five all privately named ‘1163111 F./Sgt. Herbert G. Webb. No. 196 Sqdn. R.A.F.’, mounted as worn, Sellotape deposits to the reverses, otherwise good very fine (6) £1,400-£1,800 --- D.F.M. London Gazette 15 October 1943. The original recommendation states: ‘Sorties 58, Flying hours 364. Air Bomber. Flight Sergeant Webb has taken part in a large number of operational sorties against targets in Germany and the Middle East. Since joining this squadron, this airman has been employed as a Bomb Aimer in which capacity he has proved himself to be most efficient and has fully contributed to the success achieved by his crew. It is strongly recommended that this airman’s operational record be recognised by the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal.’ Herbert George Webb was appointed Pilot Officer (on probation) on 27 April 1944 (London Gazette 20 June 1944 refers).

A Second War Lancaster bomber Wireless Operator’s Immediate D.F.M. awarded to Sergeant K. P. C. Williams, 550 Squadron, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, for selfless gallantry in attending to wounded crew members when their aircraft was attacked by fighters after a bombing mission against Berlin in March 1944; his luck ran out the following month when his Lancaster was shot down over France by enemy night fighters with the loss of the whole crew Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (908406 Sgt. K. P. C. Williams. R.A.F.); 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, the first mounted on its original investiture pin, extremely fine (5) £1,800-£2,200 --- D.F.M. London Gazette 2 May 1944: ‘One night in March, 1944, this airman was the wireless operator (air) of an aircraft which attacked Berlin. Soon after the bombs had been released the aircraft was attacked by fighters and sustained much damage. After the enemy aircraft had been evaded it was discovered that the mid-upper and rear gunners had been wounded. Displaying great promptitude, Sergeant Williams extricated the rear gunner from his turret. He was unconscious and his oxygen mask was damaged. Without regard for his own welfare, Sergeant Williams removed his own mask and fitted it to the face of his injured comrade. He then attended to the needs of the other gunner to whom he rendered efficient first aid. But for his prompt aid it is doubtful whether his injured comrades would have survived the long flight home. Throughout the sortie, Sergeant Williams displayed great co-operation and devotion to duty.’ Kenneth Percy Charles Williams was killed on the night of 10-11 April 1944, when Lancaster I ‘LL836 BQ-E’ took part in a sortie to bomb the railway yards at Aulnoye. Having taken off from North Killingholme at 2325 hrs the aircraft was shot down by a night-fighter and crashed less than a kilometre NNW of Achiet-le-Petit in the Pas-de-Calais, 7 km NW of Bapaume. All seven crew rest in Achiet-le-Petit Communal Cemetery.

P. C. Williams to attend Buckingham Palace on 9 April 1946, in order to receive the D.F.M. awarded to her late husband; and original photograph of his grave marker.

The Germans entered the front trenches and commenced to bomb their way forward but were “bombed out” of the trenches by the Battalion’s bombers and a battle developed over the mine crater lips. Breastworks were constructed in the shattered trenches and crater whilst this was going on, with the work parties building it under heavy machine gun and trench mortar fire. By dawn the position was defensible. Casualties were 8 other ranks killed, and 3 Officers and 25 other ranks wounded.’ Beech was again wounded (gun shot wound to the right arm) and taken prisoner of war at the Battle of Arras on 3 May 1917, on which date Battalion casualties were 10 Officers and 270 other ranks. Repatriated to England on 5 May 1918 he was admitted to the King George Hospital, London with his wound still being classified as severe.

WW2 Brig Paul Tibbets signed 1995, US 50th ann WW2 FDC, he was the Enola Gay pilot who dropped the Atom bomb on Hiroshima 6/8/1945. Paul Warfield Tibbets Jr. (23 February 1915 - 1 November 2007) was a brigadier general in the United States Air Force. He is best known as the aircraft captain who flew the B-29 Superfortress known as the Enola Gay (named after his mother) when it dropped a Little Boy, the first of two atomic bombs used in warfare, on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Tibbets enlisted in the United States Army in 1937 and qualified as a pilot in 1938. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he flew anti-submarine patrols over the Atlantic. In February 1942, he became the commanding officer of the 340th Bombardment Squadron of the 97th Bombardment Group, which was equipped with the Boeing B-17. In July 1942, the 97th became the first heavy bombardment group to be deployed as part of the Eighth Air Force, and Tibbets became deputy group commander. He flew the lead plane in the first American daylight heavy bomber mission against Occupied Europe on 17 August 1942, and the first American raid of more than 100 bombers in Europe on 9 October 1942. Tibbets was chosen to fly Major General Mark W. Clark and Lieutenant General Dwight D. Eisenhower to Gibraltar. After flying 43 combat missions, he became the assistant for bomber operations on the staff of the Twelfth Air Force. Tibbets returned to the United States in February 1943 to help with the development of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. In September 1944, he was appointed the commander of the 509th Composite Group, which would conduct the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After the war, he participated in the Operation Crossroads nuclear weapon tests at Bikini Atoll in mid-1946 and was involved in the development of the Boeing B-47 Stratojet in the early 1950s. He commanded the 308th Bombardment Wing and 6th Air Division in the late 1950s and was military attaché in India from 1964 to 1966. After leaving the Air Force in 1966, he worked for Executive Jet Aviation, serving on the founding board and as its president from 1976 until his retirement in 1987. Good condition.

Rare WW2 Flt Sgt Chiefy Powell (617 Sqdn) Signed Signature Piece, With Photo, Mounted Professionally and Framed to an overall size of 12 x 7 inches approx. Powell was the NCO Ground Crew Who Buried Guy Gibsons Dog Nigger. Good condition.Signature Flt Sgt George Edward "Chiefy" Powell Famous member of No 617 Sqn, rare signature Did not fly but was the Squadrons "Mr Fix it" Helped Gibson build the Squadron and made things happen Flt Sgt George Edward "Chiefy" Powell Born in Wrexham and named George Edward after two British kings, Powell had joined the Royal Air Force in 1928 and was by trade an administrator, although he'd served as an air gunner with Coastal Command during the early part of the war. The RAF provided Powell with both home and family. He was an organiser with natural talent for overcoming difficulties. He also had a fair knowledge of aerial combat. But he understood little, nothing at all in real terms, about either bomb-bays or bomb release mechanisms. His trade was airframe technician. It has to be admitted this deficiency had not troubled him much until that afternoon but was immediately acknowledged completely, if with irritated impotence. Powell therefore glared at the bomber with malevolence and as he did so, swore silently, lengthily and comprehensively. But 'bloody hell', were the only words he spoke aloud. There was nobody to hear him. Powell stood alone, in sole charge of the bomber, forage cap cocked rakishly over his right eye, clad in battle-dress, the blouse open at the neck. Legs astride, hands hips, he stared at the aeroplane as though willing it to eject the 'egg' hanging below its belly, by the sheer force of his considerable personality. You bastard!' he snarled, investing the expletive with all the venom Flight Sergeants traditionally direct at anything causing them serious problems. The 'egg' was a dummy - a massive cylinder, made of concrete, weighing 10,000 lbs, an enormous lookalike garden roller - the exact size & weight of a new weapon Chiefy Powell's new squadron was being formed to drop on enemy targets, previously impossible to attack with conventional weapons. The only problem, Chiefy Powell ruefully reflected, was that the bloody weapon would not fall out of the bloody aeroplane, which in turn meant that unless he, Chiefy Powell, got it bloody sorted there would be no bloody raid, either. 'And,' he concluded gloomily to himself, wiping the toothbrush of a moustache clinging to his upper lip with the back of his right hand, 'I've no doubt that it will all be my bloody fault.' Chiefy Powell did not know whether the weapon was a bomb, mine, or what. He did know it was secret. VERY secret. So secret that Guy Gibson, already a legendary figure in Bomber Command and one of the RAF's youngest and most successful Wing Commanders, was about to be given the job of training an elite squadron just to drop it - always providing, of course, Chiefy Powell and his happy band of Erks could solve the problem of persuading the bloody weapon to fall out of the bloody aeroplane. But at 16.30 that Saturday afternoon Wg Cdr Gibson was far from Chiefy Powell's thoughts. Powell's concentration was focused on the miscreant weapon.

Historically Important Royal Navy Peaked Cap of Admiral of the Fleet The Right Honourable Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, the cap is a ribbed white top WW2 period peaked cap with fine quality bullion embroidered kings crown cap badge to the black mohair cap band. Bullion embroidered double row of oakleaves to the peak. Patent chinstrap and plain side buttons. Interior of the cap has brown leather sweatband and blue cloth lining with a Gieves tailors label which has an embroidered name tape, “MOUNTBATTEN OF BURMA”. The cap shows service wear but is generally still a good example. Accompanying the peaked cap is the original submission slip for entry into Wallis & Wallis auctioneers on 28th April 1987 and a typed document detailing the entry from a Mr Philip Baker. The document states that this said cap had been purchased some 10 years earlier from the same auction house. Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma (25 June 1900 – 27 August 1979) was a British naval officer, colonial administrator and close relative of the British royal family. Mountbatten, who was of German descent, was born in England to the prominent Battenberg family and was a maternal uncle of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and a second cousin of King George VI. He joined the Royal Navy during the WW1 and was appointed Supreme Allied Commander, South East Asia Command, in WW2. He later served as the last imperial Viceroy of India and briefly as the first Governor-General of the Dominion of India.Mountbatten attended the Royal Naval College, Osborne, before entering the Royal Navy in 1916. He saw action during the closing phase of WW1 and after the war briefly attended Christ's College, Cambridge. During the interwar period, Mountbatten continued to pursue his naval career, specialising in naval communications.Following the outbreak of the Second World War, Mountbatten commanded the destroyer HMS Kelly and the 5th Destroyer Flotilla. He saw considerable action in Norway, in the English Channel, and in the Mediterranean. In August 1941, he received command of the aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious. He was appointed chief of Combined Operations and a member of the Chiefs of Staff Committee in early 1942, and organised the raids on St Nazaire and Dieppe. In August 1943, Mountbatten became Supreme Allied Commander South East Asia Command and oversaw the recapture of Burma and Singapore from the Japanese by the end of 1945. For his service during the war, Mountbatten was created viscount in 1946 and earl the following year.In March 1947, Mountbatten was appointed Viceroy of India and oversaw the Partition of India into India and Pakistan. He then served as the first Governor-General of India until June 1948. In 1952, Mountbatten was appointed commander-in-chief of the British Mediterranean Fleet and NATO Commander Allied Forces Mediterranean. From 1955 to 1959, he was First Sea Lord, a position that had been held by his father, Prince Louis of Battenberg, some forty years earlier. Thereafter he served as chief of the Defence Staff until 1965, making him the longest-serving professional head of the British Armed Forces to date. During this period Mountbatten also served as chairman of the NATO Military Committee for a year.In August 1979, Mountbatten was assassinated by a bomb planted aboard his fishing boat in Mullaghmore, County Sligo, Ireland, by members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army. He received a ceremonial funeral at Westminster Abbey and was buried in Romsey Abbey in Hampshire.

Scarce WW2 British Steel Helmet with Bomb Disposal Splinter Visor Shield, superb example being a standard British WW2 period steel helmet with its green paint finish and attached to the brim of the helmet is the sprung metal visor shield known as the “Quick Action Visor”. This shield retains nearly all of the original green paint finish. Interior of the helmet has the original liner system, no visible date and the top pad has become congealed and loose.
