SHAW (GEORGE BERNARD)Autograph manuscript questionnaire annotated and signed '...'First Serial Right' exclusive to Mr F. V. Connolly/ George Bernard Shaw/ 4/7/1947...', answering six handwritten questions on the Paris Conference, the Marshall Plan, and the Soviets, his answers in red ink, commenting '...There has been no failure, only a great success for Mr Bevin, who has promptly got going full steam ahead and left Comrade Molotoff out in the cold... All this cackle about failure is only another bellyful of the east wind... Mr Marshall has not offered any plan. He has invited Europe to plan its economic future, and intimated that when a sound plan is forthcoming the U.S.A. may finance it... Russia has not refused to co-operate... But Mr Molotoff has raised difficulties about the agenda, apparently because Trotsky would have approved of it...', the last question on whether Eastern European countries are dominated against their will by the Soviets ('...Not necessarily... There is a fundamental division of opinion in the world... But neither side wants more war, nor dare they provoke it while capitalist America has the atomic bomb in its pocket...'); with a badly-typed transcription possibly by Shaw, headed by the address of F. V. Connolly, Highbury, N1., and envelope addressed to E.C. Tora Esq., postmarked October [19]58, 12 leaves written on verso only, dust-staining and marks, creased, held by old paperclip, 4to (250 x 204mm.), [n.p.], 4 July 1947Footnotes:'ALL THIS CACKLE ABOUT FAILURE IS ONLY ANOTHER BELLYFUL OF THE EAST WIND': George Bernard Shaw on the success of the Paris Conference of 1947 and support for Ernest Bevin, America's Marshall Plan, U.S. labour legislation and the Soviets.Shaw's answers to this questionnaire were syndicated through Reuters and published in The Palestine Post of 14 July 1947 under the headline 'There is No Marshall Plan – G.B. Shaw on Bevin' and with the introduction: 'Alone (as usual) among commentators, George Bernard Shaw sees no failure in the Paris Conference. But he does envisage the possibility of another civil war in the USA as the result of the passage of the anti-labour legislation, in his answers to this series of questions put to him by J.V. [sic] Connolly. Shaw wrote the answers himself'. The editor of this article erroneously mentions the name of J. V. Connolly, the President of the International News Service, King Features, who had died in 1945. It is known that Shaw corresponded with F. V. Conolly, an English correspondent of the American Press Association living in London, in 1919 (letter sold in these rooms, 17 December 2000, lot 265) so it is feasible that he is still writing to the same journalist (despite the difference in spelling) some thirty years later.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

BALLARD (J.G.)Series of sixteen letters, fifteen typed, one autograph, variously signed ('J.G. Ballard', 'James', 'Jim Ballard', 'Jim') to Francisco Porrúa ('Mr Porrua', 'Francisco', 'Paco'), his Spanish-language translator, publisher and friend, a wide-ranging correspondence touching on the English literary scene ('...In England, of course, the social novel still commands the greatest attention, though Burroughs to a certain extent may change this, but in general the climate here is hostile to the more imaginative types of fiction, and in particular to anything associated with symbolism, the French variety especially...'), surrealism ('...apart from Max Ernst... the whole movement is written off as a bad joke... and is pretty well identified with Dali and his worst efforts... If you accept Freud's view that symbols are unconsciously associated with censored images one needs to look no further for an explanation...'), agreeing that the climate is beginning to change ('...Burroughs himself of course has had a galvanic effect on the sluggish nervous system of British letters...'), giving updates and notes on his own work such as The Terminal Beach (Playa Terminale) ('...I would only draw attention perhaps to the sacrificial role of the dead Japanese, a symbol of unbetrayable mankind, like Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin... not in any sense anti-H-Bomb propaganda – far from it, of course... the bomb as a symbol of total possibility, as a force which as completely quantified the universe, both the outer world of reality and the inner world of the psyche, in so far as these have separate identities... what a marvellous title by the way...'), delighted with the Spanish publication of The Drowned World (El Mundo Summergido) and looking forward to reading English translations of Borges and Cortazar, mentioning the publication of Crash ('...surprised everyone by selling out its first edition within three months...'), stories such as The Assassination Weapon ('...I have invented a completely new technique that dispenses altogether with the exhausted conventions of sequential narrative and instead presents a fragmentary and cubist flux of related but quantified events that are more like the lives we actually experience... the Katherine Mansfield short story is at last on the decline... I regard each of these stories as a 'condensed novel'...'), other authors ('...my view of things is much closer to Melville and shares almost nothing in common with Conrad, who it seems to me is often guilty of the pathetic fallacy... Melville on the other hand, stresses the direct equivalence of inner and outer reality... Melville's whale is a clear example...'), sympathising with the difficulties of publishing in Argentina ('...perhaps a volatile political atmosphere and runaway inflation create a panic demand for books and newspapers...'), and an unexpected burst of inspiration ('...some kind of surge forward of the middle-aged imagination...Perhaps it ties in with Freud's notion that a man is only truly free when his father dies – after my own died a few years ago I was waiting hourly for something remarkable to happen...'), throughout speaking fondly of their relationship ('...I feel I have the happiest relationship with Minotauro and yourself and I greatly appreciate the immense amount of care and thought which you have given to my writing...'), 18 pages, dust-staining, spotting and creasing, 4to (255 x 205mm.), Charlton Road, Shepperton, 10 February 1966 to 22 May 1989Footnotes:'YOUR CONTINUING INTEREST AND CONFIDENCE IN ME AS A WRITER HAS BEEN HEARTENING FOR TWENTY YEARS. LONG MAY IT PERSIST!'Written over a period of twenty-two years, the correspondence reveals the close and respectful relationship between author and publisher and is full of Ballard's appreciation for Porrúa's work in bringing his works to a Spanish audience ('...my oldest and longest publisher... I have the highest estimate of your abilities and literary sensibility...'). The series begins in 1966, just two years after the death of Ballard's young wife of pneumonia during a holiday in Spain, a dark time for the author personally but also a time of great creativity. He had already published several collections of short stories by this time and was at the forefront of the so-called 'new wave' of science fiction writers. As our letters show '...He also, on numerous occasions, berated the English literary world in the 1950s as both profoundly parochial and hopelessly resistant to modernism and all forms of innovation. Whether or not this was the case the ascription 'science fiction writer' was certainly one he bridled under as the years went by... Ballard seldom spoke about any literary influences, preferring to cite the surrealists—in particular Paul Delvaux and Dalí—as influencing his creative consciousness...' (Will Self, ODNB). Francisco Porrúa (1922-2014), literary translator and publisher, also known as Paco, founded Ediciones Minotauro in Buenos Aires in 1955, and was one of the leading publishers of science fiction and fantasy in the Spanish language, instrumental for bringing the likes of Ballard, Bradbury and Tolkien to a wider audience. Porrúa moved the business to Spain in 1977, prompting Ballard to write in our letters '...Your white house by the sea in Sitges sounds like a small piece of paradise... it must be an exciting time to be a publisher in Spain... an absolute deluge of politics, economics, social topics and so on banned under Franco...'. His obituary in the Buenos Aires Herald noted 'his undeniable gift as a translator and his keen eye for extraordinary, even if unknown or too daring, literary gems', and whilst at publisher Editorial Sudamericana, he is credited with discovering Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude.

CHADWICK JAMES: (1891-1974) English Physicist, Nobel Prize winner for Physics, 1935, in recognition of his discovery of the neutron. Chadwick was head of the British team who worked on the Manhattan Project during World War II. A good and lengthy A.L.S., James Chadwick, four pages, 4to, Cambridge, 13th November 1969, on is printed stationery, to Leslie R. Groves Jr. Chadwick informs Groves on Mrs Gowing visit, stating in part `We had a visit from Mrs Gowing a few days ago. She came to collect a draft of her account of the first few years after the war - an enormous volume of material…It depressed me to read about it. Mrs Gowing hopes to have a draft of her second volume completed by Easter. This will then have to be submitted to some high authorities who may, and probably will, demand that some references to political discussions should be cut out…Provided that she has sufficient time and energy to digest all the material she has collected, I believe that the second volume will be quite interesting.´ Chadwick further refers to a Canadian nuclear work, saying `I read about half of "Canada´s Nuclear Story" and then gave up. I found two quotations from notes by John Cockcroft, one is quite untrue, the second gives a false implication. And now recently, in reading Mrs. Gowing´s draft…I found references to at least two complaints of the Canadian team about which I never heard. If these complaints were valid they should have been made to me and to you.´ And referring to the Canadian nuclear team, Chadwick concludes `They do not seem to have realized how fortunate they were.´ Folded, with very small, minor creasing, otherwise VG     Leslie Groves (1896-1970) United States Army Corps of Engineers Lieutenant General.

Lindbergh further states 'I see you have Whitehead's name in the outline, now. have (sic) you read his Adventure of Ideas? I think the first two or three and the last chapters are wonderful.

About EX    Though it was not expected that Franz Ferdinand would succeed to the Austrian throne, the suicide of his cousin, Crown Prince Rudolf, and later the renounce of Franz's father, Archduke Karl Ludwig, to his right to succession, cleared the way for Franz Ferdinand to become ruler of Austria. On June 28th 1914, Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, were riding in an open car through Sarajevo, Bosnia, when Nedeljko Cabrinovic, a member of the Serbian secret society Black Hand, threw a bomb at their car. Shaken but unharmed, the Archduke insisted on maintaining his schedule, including a speech and a trip to the hospital to visit those who had been injured in the attack. During an unexpected wrong turn en route to the hospital, the car was spotted by an associate of Cabrinovic's, Gavrilo Princip, who opened fire with a pistol. Both the Archduke and his wife were struck and died shortly after. The attack strained Austro-Serbian relations to a breaking point, and his assassination is usually cited as the immediate impetus for the outbreak of World War I a few weeks later.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) US One Sheet film poster, directed by Stanley Kubrick, linen backed, 27 x 41 inches. Provenance: John Farmer started collecting over 40 years ago. His interest in films began when his parents took him to the James Bond double bills in the late 60s. Around this time he also developed a passion for reading his brothers Famous Monsters of Filmland magazines. These publications were certainly a great way at the time to expand your horizons and taste forbidden fruit. The Basil Gogos covers were especially glorious, and the look of these films and publications instilled in John an interest in a broad spectrum of artists and movies that he retains to this day. The John Farmer collection represents part of what he has acquired over the years and includes a good cross-section of titles such as Dr. No, The Ladykillers, Psycho, Night of the Hunter, Taxi Driver, 2001, Vertigo, Invasion of the Saucer Men and The Devil Rides Out. John has enjoyed locating and finding these items from many different sources and now looks forward to them finding a new home with other enthusiasts and collectors.

Three Second World War Diaries belonging to a Royal Air Force casualty, the details of the owner are a little vague giving only name and rank but by cross referencing entries in the diaries with 'Commonwealth War Graves Commission' and marriage records we were able to ascertain that they belonged to Pilot Officer Eric Moore, of 59 Squadron, the diaries cover 14th - 29th January 1940, 5th December -  16th December 1940, and 3rd January - 30th January 1941, there must have been other diaries written by Eric Moore but these three give a fascinating insight into the feelings of an RAF Bomber crew member in the dark days after Dunkirk, the hand written detailed daily entries reveal his fears, hopes and aspirations for the future, obvious dedication to his wife, and reflections on how the war will develop, there are entries on raids on French ports (a long way from the 1000 bomber raids of the later years) detailing the routes out and back, anti aircraft fire and results, not always positive, relief at raids being cancelled, and frustration when, due to weather conditions, they can't make any at all, aircraft accidents, and deaths of friends and colleagues, he details his thoughts and regrets on the prospect of his own death in action, he describes everyday life in between operations, lectures, training, drinks in the mess, some riotous!, he mentions many other air crew by name and his interactions with them, critical of some, periods of leave with Elsie, his wife, visits to the local town, Emsworth, from R.A.F. Thorney Island where he was based, he is clearly very enthusiastic about cars and describes in detail his own experience buying and, unfortunately, repairing his own, the third diary, covering January, is where he is at his most reflective, possibly because the weather is so bad he is able to take part in only one raid,  the reading of the diaries is a poignant experience because 79752 Pilot Officer Eric Moore, Observer, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve was Killed in Action on the 22nd March 1941 with P/O Date (pilot) and Sgt. Watkins (Air Gunner), when his Bleheim IV Bomber aircraft, T2433, squadron code TR-X, was shot down off Katwijk by a Me109 Fighter of JG1 flown by Oberleutnant Paul Stolte, the beginning of each of the three diary's states that it should be given to his wife Elsie, gives the address where his last Will and Testament is held and that 'In it I leave everything that I possess to my wife', photos of Eric Moore can be seen on the number 59 Squadron website which also mentions his relationship with other aircrew which is detailed in the diaries, some entries are detailed below to give an indication of contents.

Running South over the town I caught a glimpse of the river which I recognised, had Mac turn 180 degrees and picking up a series of long roofs let go my stick of bombs. Beams promptly picked us up and evasive tactics prevented us seeing the results of our bombs..Mac twisted and turned making his manoeuvres more violent..he over shot the angle and and looking through the cabin roof I saw the searchlights pointed up at us, we were upside down!..I shall never understand how we failed to get hit..', 29/10/40: description of new bomb designed to set alight oil which had flowed onto water from tanks burst by Bomber Command, very crude and amateurish, deployed by hand!, 5/12/40 continued description of raid on L'Orient, disagreement with pilot over prospective factory targets, '..Mac replies 'We are sent to bomb L'Orient not a French factory making tits for babies milk bottles' quoth he..', thoughts on being killed in action, on return discovers that the 'Mickey Mouse' was unconnected to the circuit (again) so bombs still on board!, '..attended funeral of Heinman who crashed last Sunday morning..' description of funeral and grief of relatives, description of Dining in night in Officers Mess, 7/12/40: depression at thought of another week of flights, missing Elsie, description of aircraft from 53 Sqn crashing into trees on landing in poor weather, pilot, Weatherby, and Observer killed, 8/12/40: told by Flight Commander Ropy Palmer he is flying with him on raid as he is testing the Observers, Moore concerned he is under specific observation (correct), description of raid on L'Orient, gunner reports guns jammed and belly gun firing only single shots and front gun not working!, requests change of pilot and finds out he had already been complained about hence the 'test' by Palmer who declares his confidence in Moore, promises to see what he can do, 12/12/40: description of raid on Brest, heavy Flak, HMS Queen Elizabeth with destroyer screen leaves Portsmouth, no radio contact only signal lights to avoid discovery by enemy, 16/12/40: photo recce mission with Wing Commander to German aerodrome on Guernsey, spot two Dornier 18 Flying boats and a convoy of 5 ships, 4/1/41: '..a day full of tension and excitement..', description of scene at Thorney Island as Blenheims from 53 & 59 Squadrons are detailed to bomb a Hipper Class cruiser  (actually the Hipper herself) in a raid on Brest, Moore not detailed as on standby but describes excitement, apprehension, and in some, depression, at having to attack in daylight, describes damage to one of returned aircraft '..completely riddled yet none of the crew touched!..', 5/4/41: description of aircraft from 'A' and 'B' Flights 59 Sqn sent on another daylight raid on Brest, as given by colleagues, 10/12/40: description of loss of aircraft and crew when their TR91 radio packed up and they couldn't receive bearings to get back from a raid, believed to have crashed into Atlantic, '..another crew joined the limbo of those whose bones strew the floor of the sea bottom around these shores..', 16/1/41: 24 hrs leave with Elsie, '..hopes for our Junior were unfounded this time..have decided to wait until May before trying again.

Registration No: MKV 15FChassis No: B011033198H5HS0MOT: ExemptFaithful replica of the Hunter that took outright victory on the 1968 London-Sydney Marathon RallyHolbay Engineering tuned 1725cc OHV engine, twin Weber 45 DCOE carburettors, coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox with overdriveGenuine Minilite alloy wheels, with three spares on the roof plus a lockable spares boxBlessed with a strong bodyshell, tough suspension and 'bomb-proof' mechanicals, the Hillman Hunter always had the potential to be a successful rally car. Nevertheless, there was surprise when Andrew Cowan, Brian Coyle and Colin Malkin took the sole Works Hillman Hunter ('MKV15G') to outright victory on the 1968 London-Sydney Marathon (vanquishing factory BMC, Ford and Citroen opposition in the process).MKV 15F is a faithful replica of that car built by the late Gordon Jarvis. Under the bonnet is a Holbay Engineering tuned 1725cc OHV engine, fed by twin Weber 45 DCOE carburettors, coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. Gordon was working for Rootes in 1967 and it appears he had access to factory records to make this as faithful as possible to the winning car. It was also undertaken with Andrew Cowan’s full support and approval. Given its registration plate of MKV 15F, this wonderful recreation has been asked to ‘stand in’ for the genuine article at various shows and events. The exterior is a faithful homage to the original, with Capri blue paintwork, white roof and white stripe accents down the flanks, along with period stickers and decals including the ‘75’ London to Sydney rally number. The car has genuine Minilite alloy wheels, with three spares on the roof plus a lockable spares box. As per MKV 15G, there are Lucas roof, bonnet, and bumper mounted spotlights at the front, plus a Lucas 576 reversing light at the rear. The bodywork inside the boot was stiffened, and a larger 15-gallon Rapier fuel tank installed behind the rear seat. There is a Rootes bulkhead suspension top reinforcer fitted and an aircraft clock, stopwatch and Brantz Retrotrip. The car has been used on a number of events at home and overseas, proving to be very reliable over the years. The full specification is too detailed to list here so we advise prospective bidders to check the history file and view the car in person – we are certain it will not disappoint.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760
