A German World War II V1 'Doddlebug' flying bomb rudder, painted mottled green and stencilled "Nicht anfassen" (do not touch), 50.5 x 25cm.The V-1 flying bomb was an early pulsejet-powered cruise missile, the very first production aircraft of any type to use a pulsejet for power. The first V-1 was launched at London on 13 June 1944, one week after (and prompted by) the successful Allied landings in Europe. At its peak, more than one hundred V-1s a day were fired at south-east England, 9,521 in total, decreasing in number as sites were overrun until October 1944, when the last V-1 site in range of Britain was overrun by Allied forces.

The Superb D.F.C. and Bar awarded to Flight Lieutenant John Vere ‘Hoppy’ Hopgood, 617 Squadron, late 106 and 50 Squadron, R.A.F.V.R., one of the central figures of the legendary ‘Dambusters’, and second-in-command of the famous attack on the Möhne Dam in ‘Operation Chastise’ on the night of the 16th-17th of May, 1943. Flying in the first wave, and attacking immediately after Guy Gibson’s ‘G-George’, he pressed home the attack in his already damaged aircraft ‘M-Mother’ in the face of the recently alerted enemy guns, and despite his own serious head wound, he released his bomb successfully toward the dam wall, but just fractionally late, and it agonisingly bounced over the dam face. Knowing that his damaged and blazing Lancaster could not struggle much further, and arguably aware of his own approaching fate, he committed himself to one final and desperate climb, allowing his remaining crew time to attempt to bail out of the stricken aircraft, prior to a final descent in which he was killed – at the age of just 21. The case has been made in the years since that he might have been recommended for a posthumous Victoria Cross in the light of his heroic and selfless actions in saving the lives of his crew, comprising: Distinguished Flying Cross, GRI, unnamed as issued, engraved reverse dated ‘1942’, with second award bar, engraved reverse dated ‘1943’, in original Royal Mint case of issue, toned, good extremely fine OFFERED BY DIRECT DESCENT ON BEHALF OF WATER AID NOTE: D.F.C.: London Gazette, 27 October 1942: ‘Flt.

On one occasion he made a low level attack on Rostock and also bombed Warnemünde from only 2,000 feet in face of intense opposition’. D.F.C. (Bar): London Gazette, 12 January 1943: ‘This officer has completed many successful operations since being awarded the D.F.C, One night in August, 1942, he was detailed to bomb objectives at the port of Gdynia. This attack, which was pressed home with the greatest determination, achieved excellent results. On another occasion in October, 1942, during the daylight attack on Le Creusot, Flt. Lt. Hopgood participated in a particularly daring attack on the electrical transformer station, which was bombed effectively from a height of only 500 feet.’ Note: As far as can be ascertained, Hopgood’s WW2 campaign stars and medals were never issued or claimed.
