WWII group of four, 1939-1945 Star, Air Crew Europe Star, Defence Medal, War Medal, Caterpillar Club gold Caterpillar Club lapel pin inscribed F/Lt N. A. Clark and three Royal Air Force Pilot's Flying Log Books of Flight Lieutenant N A W Clark, including certificates of qualifications, first pilot, 1942-1957 Sold with two typescript accounts by Flight Lieutenant Norman Alfred Wadham Clark on his being shot down on the night of Friday March 24th, 1944, his reception by Dutch citizens (who turned him over to the police) and his life as a prisoner of war. With a full crew Flight Lieutenant 'Knobby' Clarke, aged 27 of 625 Squadron RAF Kelstern, piloted Lancaster ME684 on what was to be the final major raid by Bomber Command on Berlin, on the 24 / 25 March 1944. Particularly high winds on that night proved a severe additional hazard. Many of the Lancasters were 'coned' by German search lights and came under fire both from the ground and night fighters. 72 aircraft, including Clark's, failed to return. Blown off course and faced with the option of returning into the bomb stream, Clark released his bomb load over a German airfield. On the return the aircraft was heavily damaged by flak when over Varseveld. At 00:47 hours Clark gave the order to his crew of six to jump: "I sat still at the controls; I thought and tried to make one final attempt to control the engines and take it home alone. I felt very lonely having lost my crew and great pals. I flew her around a few more times, turned the nose towards Germany (hoping it would set fire to something useful) and climbed out of the seat. She went into a dive. I hastily pulled her out, reset the rimmer controls and bailed out of the nose...". All seven RAF men survived, three of whom evaded capture. For a detailed account of the incident, including the recollections of another of the crew that night Air Gunner Sergeant John Munroe, read here: http://aircrewremembered.com/clark-norman-arthur-wadham.html Condition

Battle of Britain. The Great War CBE and pair of Joseph Smith, Chief Designer Supermarine Aviation Ltd, The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire Commander's neck badge (Civil Division) in Garrard & Co Ltd case, British War Medal and Victory Medal MB2748 J Smith MM RNVR and two groups of miniature medals and Imperial Service Medal, Edward VII Star and George V circular type Edith Hunter, the first in Elkington & Co Ltd case CBE: London Gazette, 1 January 1946 The aircraft designer Joseph Smith (1897-1956) was the 'right hand man' and successor of R J Mitchell, creator of the Spitfire. After a technical education in Birmingham, followed by apprenticeship to the Austin Motor Co which was interrupted by World War One, Joe Smith transferred to Austin Aircraft Development Department until, in 1920, it was closed by the car manufacturer. He was promptly recruited by Supermarine and by 1926 was Chief Draughtsman with a staff of thirty-eight. Throughout the 1920's and 30's he worked closely with R J Mitchell on all Supermarine aircraft designs. Following Mitchell's premature death in 1937, his immediate successor was soon dismissed and with government approval Smith was appointed Chief Designer Supermarine Aviation Ltd in 1941. His role was pivotal to the development of the Spitfire before and during World War Two. Awarded the Silver Medal of the Royal Aeronautical Society 1950, following his death in 1956, the Society acknowledged his work "of an outstanding nature in aeronautics" by the award of its Gold Medal. Mitchell's genius and determination, ably supported and continued by Joseph Smith, was immortalised in the inspiring wartime film The First of his Few, a honorific allusion to the heroism of Battle of Britain pilots Condition
