WW2 Midget Submarines Vernon Coles DSM, very detailed 7 page handwritten record of his history of the X craft programme, comes with three other detailed articles on X craft in WW2. He was a Royal Navy volunteer who took part in a secret and dangerous mission on board HMS Faulknor to sink German battleship, Tirpitz, in 1943. He was involved in many attacks as part of the midget X Craft submarines, including the destruction of floating docks in Bergen, Norway, in 1944. He also played a vital role in the cutting of communication cables in the Far East which forced enemies to use easily interceptable radio communications - an operation which ended the Second World War months earlier than anticipated. Mr Coles' dedication and bravery saw him awarded a distinguished service medal in the Second World War for service in a midget submarine. After his naval retirement in 1958, he joined the civil service and worked for several years in Malaysia, where he was recommended for an MBE for overseeing the removal of radar equipment from Penang Hill RAF base. It was Mr Coles who took down the last Union Jack flag at the base. Good Condition. All autographs are genuine hand signed and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Measurements 45.5 x 40.5 cm, framed measurements 46.5 x 41.5 cm John Bratby RA (1928-1992) was a British 20th century painter from Wimbledon.

Bratby typically painted in very bright colours, his later works becoming even lighter and more exuberant.

The Gallant Ohio multiple signed WW2 Robert Taylor print. 32 x 23 inches. Numbered 33/850. During 1942 the small Mediterranean island of Malta was the most heavily bombed place on earth. In the space of two months, March and April, more bombs fell on Malta than on London during the entire Blitz. The Axis powers were determined to bomb the island into submission because, if they could capture Malta, the Mediterranean was theirs. But the garrison and people of Malta refused to submit, their only relief was through the convoys that ran the gauntlet to resupply the island. And none more so than the convoy of Operation Pedestal, a scenario of which is played out in Robert Taylor's panoramic painting, THE GALLANT OHIO. Unless the American tanker got through, the island's air defences were doomed. Spitfires of 126 and 185 Squadrons successfully fended off a last desperate attempt by enemy aircraft to sink the crippled American tanker Ohio, still some 80 miles short of the beleaguered island of Malta. Badly damaged and barely afloat the Ohio, assisted by Royal Navy destroyers Penn, (foreground), Bramham (lashed to Ohio's port side) and Ledbury, limped into port to a tumultuous welcome, on August 15, 1942. Her vital cargo of fuel kept the island's air defences alive, and ultimately made the island secure. Pedestal became the most heavily attacked convoy in history but, it got through and Malta was saved. The Signatures Joining artist Robert Taylor in signing each print in the edition as FIVE distinguished signatories, representing the Royal Navy, Fleet Air Arm, and the Royal Air Force, who fought for the Defence of Malta and the Malta Convoys.
