RMS Titanic - an original commemorative stamp cover autographed by RMS Titanic Disaster survivors Millvina Dean (Youngest Survivor) and her Brother, Bertram Dean. Both signed neatly in blue and black in respectively. A rare pair of autographs / signatures. Total size approx; 11x16cm. The Deans' parents decided to leave the United Kingdom and emigrate to the United States; they were planning to move to Wichita, Kansas, where her father had relatives, and his cousin owned a tobacco shop that he was going to co-own. They were not supposed to be aboard the new White Star Line ship RMS Titanic, but due to a coal strike, they were transferred onto it and boarded it as third-class passengers at Southampton, England. Millvina Dean was barely two months old when she boarded the ship along with her parents and brother. Her father felt its collision with the iceberg on the night of 14 April 1912, and after investigating, returned to his cabin, telling his wife to dress the children and go up on deck. Millvina, her mother, and her brother were placed in Lifeboat 10 and were among the first third-class passengers to escape.Her father did not survive, and his body, if recovered, was never identified.

Spanning two lined notebooks, each and every raid Wray took part in is listed in great detail - including details of his crew, targets and even the aircraft which took part. Each raid is detailed down to its success (or not) and whether any damage was taken, the bomb payload etc. 'Vol I' includes several never-before-seen bomb photographs (taken at the moment of impact by the bomb release camera). Both albums feature a host of period cuttings, German propaganda and other items that relate to the specific raids. Some astonishing content within, which makes for some fascinating and sombre reading. Of note within Vol I (abridged for cataloguing purposes): 'No.1 Operation - Target: Road Between Podgorica-Klopot... Cloud spoiled the day, bombing attack only 11 of 26 saw target sufficiently clear to bomb although one crew claimed a direct hit on a bridge...duration 3hrs 10mins.''No.8 Operation - 15.1.45 - 28 aircraft were off to drop supplies to partisans. Due to cloud obscuring target, only three aircraft were able to locate and drop their containers. All aircraft returned to base...''No.10 Operation - 20.1.45 - Target: Udine Marshalling Yards, North Italy....heavy damage is seen to industrial and rail installations...yards were inactive at time of photography... Casualties: Sgt Wilson's crew...was missing. They ditched...after 3 days were picked up by a navy corvette...broke his leg and wireless operator never got out of plane... C Charlie returned back with engine trouble and...came back because all bombs hung up'(Volume 1 covers operations No.1 to No.19 - largely railway / marshalling yards and roads etc)Vol.II which covers operations No.20 to No.26, and features similar detailed notes on each raid. The final one (No.26) ends with ' This was the last operation of 205 group ' and is dated as being 25.4.45. The diaries alone represent an incredible unique window into the world of a WWII RAF Bomb Aimer / Flight Sergeant in Bomber Command. Fascinating reading, and an important part of WWII history. Also included within the collection is a wealth of paperwork - both official and unofficial relating to Wray, various aircraft documents, training manuals (many marked 'Restricted'), letters to and from Wray (some with censor marks) and various post-war items including various later-issued books with dedicated to Wray, newspaper cuttings, bombing maps and photographs, a raft of Wray's original training notes - including how to use the instruments in an aircraft, how RADAR works etc. Hundreds of documents, letters, notes and booklets.
