The 1942 personal hand written leather bound war-time diary of Wing Commander (later Air Vice-Marshal) James Edgar "Johnnie" Johnson, CB, CBE, DSO and 2 Bars, DFC and Bar, from 1st January to 31st December 1942 with detailed entries of his every-day life both domestic and RAF related. 1942 was, for Fighter Command if not for Bomber Command and the other armed forces, a year of transition. The Battle of Britain and the worst of the Blitz were now over and the focus, and Luftwaffe resources, on the part of the Germans was now concentrated on the Russian Front. Notwithstanding this, the Germans provided stiff and fierce resistance to all attempts to attack their industrial institutions and communication links. Fighter Command's principal role was changing from one of destroying German bombers attacking Britain to escorting British, and latterly American, bombers attacking mainland Europe. Many Fighter Command pilots disliked this role. Fighter pilots were also involved in "Rhubarb" operations which were low level attacks generally carried out only when there were low cloud and poor visibility conditions. Pilots generally - but not unanimously - also intensely disliked these operations which were considered dangerous but achieving very little. Johnson was certainly of this opinion and makes mention of this view a few times in the diary. A sample entry for Sunday 25th January reads: "Kirton: Flight arrived back from Garhill more dead than alive, made my report to Group Capt. Woolhams. In the evening Neville, Nip, Derek and I slipped down to the Royal and met old Nat, pushed along to The Jolly Sailor and had several more beers and the odd brandy. Lovely night with almost a full moon and Nip decided he was going to fly; tried to persuade him not but the bugger was very obstinate and moved quietly off in my van; rang up Kimby & told him to tell Nip that the CO's instructions were not to take off, Dicky Stafford also refused him permission from opps - no use, he took off and after beating up the mess pranged when landing - stalled from about 20 feet. Hell of a row, C.O. talking about a court -martial and the Nip walking about as white as a ghost". The diary also includes operational information of life in 610 Squadron such as the entry on 19th August for the Dieppe raid: "West Malling: The wing took off at 07:40 to provide cover for Army & Navy operations at Dieppe. Jamie leading with 485 Sqd, 411 next and ourselves top cover. We saw a lot of aircraft returning and when halfway across saw a heavy smoke fall over the town. When about 5 miles off the coast we were heavily engaged by over 100 190's and 109's. Self: 1FW 190 Destroyed. Self, F/Sgt Creagh & P/O Smith. 1 Me 109 Destroyed. Self & P/O Smith. 1 FW 190 Damaged. P/O Hakam. 1 FW 190 Damaged. F/LT Crowley Milling. 1 Me 109 Destroyed. Our Casualties: F/LT Poole & Sgt Leach Missing. F/Sgt Creagh - Bailed out & picked up by Navy. 2nd Patrol, 3rd Patrol & 4th Patrol" Interestingly, the diary indicates that Johnson had 3 days shooting grouse in Scotland on 5th, 6th and 7th August; under the 1831 Game Act, grouse shooting may not commence until 12 August. The diary also has a photograph glued in of Johnnie with his dog Pusher. Pusher sadly was killed by a Motor Transport lorry when running across the perimeter track on 23 August 1942. Whilst on holiday/leave in the north of England where he indulged his love of shooting, Johnson came by a litter of Labradors and promptly bought one, Sally, for 7 guineas. Sally was to feature in several subsequent photographs with Johnson and his then current Spitfire. The diary is accompanied by a typed transcript and a 610 Squadron plaque. Provenance: By descent within the family of Johnnie Johnson.

WW2 H.M. Submarine Spearfish 1940 Casualty Distinguished Service Medal Group of Four Medals. A rare early WW2 Submariners Distinguished Service Medal group awarded to Able Seaman Ernest George Morey, who gallantry in HMS Spearfish saw him in a submarine to U-boat action within minutes of the declaration of war on the 3rd September and would see him been awarded a DSM & MID before his death in August 1940. Comprising: Medal Group. Distinguished Service Medal "AB E G MOREY CJX134230 HMS SPEARFISH", 1939/45 Star, Atlantic Star, War Medal, MID Oak Leaf. Medal group is mounted Court style and accompanied by a large quantity of research. Able Seaman Ernest George Morey a pre war regular sailor was posted to HMS Dolphin for submarine service in May 1938. In October 1938 he joined the crew of HM Submarine Spearfish as a Gun layer 2nd Class. The following year as the Nation awaited the Prime Minster to declare war on Germany September 3rd, Morey and the Spearfish were patrolling the Obrestad line, about four minutes past 11 a German U-boat was encountered and followed a six hour game of cat and mouse at one time the Spearfish was set on a ramming course. The U-boat managed to slip away. On the 22nd September 1939 whilst on patrol the Spearfish was detected by the Germans and had to rest on the seabed and endure two hours and 60 depth charges. With oxygen supply low, the crew had lie down as around them light bulbs shattered and paint flaked from the hull as explosions shook the sub. Surfacing the Captain and crew realised the full damage: main engines knocked out, periscope smashed, wireless unserviceable and leaking like a sieve. The Spearfish was a sitting duck for any German who came along. Despite the situation the crew worked on repairs that would enable them to limp home. Later contact was made and with the assistance of a Fleet rescue the Spearfish reached harbour. It is for this action that Morey was awarded the Mention in Despatches London Gazette 23rd December 1939. Repaired the Spearfish was once again despatched on war patrols. On the 10th April 1940 she was once again picked up by a German anti submarine ship. Again lying on the seabed she endured a pounding from depth charges, the air in the sub becoming foul, with air running out the Captain decided to take the risk and surface early. In the darkness the Captain Lt. Commander J.H. Forbes hoped to slip away, however things changed very quickly as the Watch Officer gained the deck, he was horrified to see the German pocket battleship Lutzow closing fast at 3,000 yards, Forbes without hesitation took up his station ordered the submarine's bows to bear on the Lutzow and fired six torpedoes, a number hitting, damaging the Battleships propellors, in no shape to take advance of the crippled Lutzow Forbes ordered the Spearfish to slip away into the night, the Lutzow would be laid up for a year as she was repaired. The Spearfish returned to base and received a Hero's welcome which was captured on a Pathe' newsreel (Available on YouTube). For this action it is believed Morey received the award of the Distinguished Service Medal, the Captain wrote "Able Seaman Morey G.L.11 For his magnificent example at all times. He was ready and keen to work his gun against all comers. " The announcement of the award appeared in the London Gazette on the 9th May 1940. Having used a great deal of luck HMS Spearfish was ordered to patrol Norwegian waters on the 1st August 1940 she was spotted by the German submarine U.34, lying in wait Spearfish surfaced straight into the German sites, within minutes she was fired upon and a torpedo hit to the bows sealed her fate as she as blown apart. As U.34 sailed through the wreckage one survivor was plucked from the water. Able Seaman Morey DSM, MID, would remain behind in the deep waters with his shipmates and the Spearfish.
