He served as a midshipman during WWI and transferred to the Royal Naval Air Service serving as an airship pilot until 1917 (he was good friends with Barnes Wallis). During the Battle of the Somme in 1916 he was tasked with assisting the RFC by using his airship to drop agents behind enemy lines at night.Goddard held a number of senior posts throughout WWII, he played a major part in preserving British air assets in the face of German attacks and in September 1941, shortly before Pearl Harbour was appointed Air Commodore Chief of the Air Staff, Royal New Zealand Air Forcde (RNZAF). As commander, he was prominent in the operations against the Japanese initial advance and commanded the RNZAF in the Battle of Guadacanal and the Solomon Islands campaigns (for which he was awarded the American Navy Distinguished Service Medal).Goddard is perhaps best known for his interest in paranormal phenomena, in which he claimed to have witnessed a clairvoyant incident in China in 1946, when he was at a party in Shanghai and scheduled to fly to Tokyo that same night, when he heard of another officer having a dream in which Goddard was killed in a plane crash. In the dream an aircraft was carrying Goddard, two other men and a woman, when it experienced difficulties with atmospheric icing, and crashed on a pebbled beach near mountains. That night Goddard was persuaded to take two men and a woman on the Douglas Dakota transport flying to Tokyo. As in the other's officer's dream, the Dakota plane iced over and was forced to make a crash-landing on the Japanese island of Sado; the crash scene, a pebbled beach near mountains, resembled that described in the dream. Unlike the dream, however, no one was injured. The story was published in The Saturday Evening Post of May 26, 1951 and in 1955 the film The Night My Number Came Up was produced based on Goddard's paranormal phenomena.

A French Silver-Plated Duck Press, circa 193018 x 12-1/4 x 7-1/2 inches (45.7 x 31.1 x 19.1 cm) (base 18 x 11-1/2 x 1-1/2 inches)Inscription: Jack and Charlie's '21' (with 21 Club insignia) A French silver-plated duck press possibly Christofle but unmarked, standing on a pair of flared legs with turned details at the base. The front and back of the press are hinged opening to a removeable pot with strainer, fitted with a spout. The press is a flat disk driven by a turn screw with a wheel at the top.The Duck Press bears the insignia of the renowned 21 Club, a popular New York City staple since its days as a prohibition-era speakeasy. Established by cousins Jack Kreindler and Charlie Berns in 1930, the club's name is derived from its prime location at 21 West 52nd Street where the famous façade featured its iconic wrought iron gate and ornamental jockeys. Thanks to a hidden wine cellar and the swankiest clientele in town, the club went on to store the private wine collections of Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Mae West, and Marilyn Monroe, and even the post-prohibition collections of John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford. The 21 Club enjoyed decades as the place to see and be seen by presidents, captains of industry, and celebrities until closing their doors permanently in 2020 due to New York City's shut down during the Covid Pandemic. Although American TV personality Steve Allen referenced the iconic club and restaurant in his song "This Could be the Start of Something Big" with the line, "You're lunchin' at Twenty-One and watching your diet, declining a charlotte russe, accepting a fig... this could be the start of something big," the 21 Club was celebrated for their decadent and scrumptious menu. The signature dish, the pressed duck, was a feast for the senses. After the duck was carved and its juices captured, what remained was cut into pieces and placed in the duck press, and the crank at the top turned, extracting all of the remaining juices. The ingredients were combined with butter and brandy and then flamed. The resulting sauce was poured over the sliced duck. Pressed duck is a slow meal of multiple courses, reflecting leisurely meals of a bygone era. The lot accompanied by a copy of The Iron Gate of Jack & Charlie's "21."

'There's a little white duck sitting in the water...there's a little green frog swimming in the water...there's a little black bug floating on the water...there's a little red snake playing in the water...'. The duck was regarded as extraordinarily lifelike, bending and pecking in a most realistic way.John created a dapper, but rather mournful, Barney, and a truly irresistible female frog, with tantalising net skirt and leather eyelashes.The Jacquard puppets - general condition reportThe puppets have been stored for many years, the strings have mainly gone, and those that are left are fragile and snap easily and most will need to be restrung.
