WHITE ANTONIA: (1899-1980) British Writer. Small series of eight A.Ls.S., most signed Antonia, twelve pages (total), mainly 8vo, London, 1956-65, to Neville Braybrooke (and one to his wife, June Guesdon Braybrooke, English Writer better known by her pen name of Isobel English). White largely writes regarding various literary matters, in part, '”Every Eye” delightfully upset my working schedule. I meant to ration it to meal times but greedily devoured it (in) one read because I couldn't stop! I liked it very much indeed & think it even better than the first one. It is really original..you have a wonderfully individual eye and the whole flavour of the book isn't like anyone else's….the end gave me the authentic shock….I do hope the reviewers see the point..they're so dumb sometimes even when they're “nice”…' (to June Guesdon Braybrooke, 2nd November 1956), 'Thank you for sending me the Teilhard de Chardin book….I now feel almost ready to tackle The Phenomenon again. Anyway your book has made me really love that man' (13th September 1965), 'I was waiting for something unexpected & nice to be confirmed before I told you about it, as you were the 'prime mover!'…You may remember at that delightful dinner party of yours in the summer, you mentioned that piece of mine published years ago in The Month (about my coming back to the church) to John Guest & got him so interested in it that he asked to see it….It wasn't actually extracts from my notebooks but from a vast correspondence I'd had with someone (now dead) at the time just before & after my 're-conversion'. He had kept all my letters & I had asked for them back so that I could see what I was actually thinking & writing at the actual time when I did that piece - originally for Cyril Connolly, but it shocked him too much & was eventually printed in The Month….John Guest was so interested in it….By luck, I hadn't destroyed those letters along with the mass of papers, MSS etc. I got rid of when I moved….Anyway the nett result is that John Guest wants to publish….& thinks it's relevant to people's problems at the moment. I'm still slightly stunned - it's so extraordinary, having struggled impotently to try & write a book for the past ten years, to find I've written one, entirely by accident, over twenty years ago! And this extraordinary thing is entirely due to you…' (29th November n.y.), 'I'm almost beginning to feel that “The Hound & the Falcon” is a real book after all. There's been something so dream like about the whole thing that I can't quite believe it yet….I'm delighted that you're reviewing it for the Spectator….I wonder if any non-Catholics will review it. I hope so much that what you say is true, that it will comfort some other people in the same predicament. I think there are a good many' (16th November 1965). Also including a small 8vo Christmas greetings card signed by White. Together with Djuna Barnes (1892-1982) American Writer, best known for her novel Nightwood (1936), an important piece of Modernist literature and a cult classic of lesbian fiction. Three T.Ls.S., Djuna Barnes, each one page, 8vo and 4to, New York, 1961-62, all to [Neville] Braybrooke, thanking him for an inscribed copy of his novel The Idler and for a copy of The Wind and the Rain, although regretting that she let her contribution 'get by with errors' and sending a corrected copy (no longer present) in case there is a second printing, and in the third letter thanking Braybrooke for a kind review and commenting that it was 'particularly gratifying to have The Antiphon remarked, as the mental resistance to, as the Swedish name it, “a play for the rich in spirit” is phenomenal. Some not only do not study it, they do not read it with attention. One critic thinks Titus the violater (sic) of Miranda' and also stating 'I do wish Dylan Thomas could have recorded parts of Nightwood: the very best sort of voice for certain kinds of writing, entranced and rolling'. Some light overall age wear and some creasing to Barnes' letters. G to VG, 12 Neville Braybrooke (1923-2001) English Poet, Writer, Editor, Literary Critic and Publisher. Son of Patrick Braybrooke (1894-1956) English Literary Critic. As the present letters suggest, White published a collection of letters entitled The Hound and the Falcon: The Story of a Reconversion to the Catholic Faith in 1966. White and Barnes were friends and together at the time the latter wrote Nightwood, much of which was penned during the summers of 1932 and 1933 whilst both women were staying at Hayford Hall, a country manor in Devon rented by the art patron Peggy Guggenheim.

WW2 Important Bomber Command DFM & Bar Winners Flying Log Book Singed 7 times by Dambuster Guy Gibson VC. This important Bomber Command operational log book was compiled by Warrant Officer Eddie Leavesley DFM & Bar, who's second tour of operations was with 106 Lancaster Squadron under the command of the legendary Wing Commander Guy Gibson VC DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar, who has signed the log book on 7 occasions. Other 'Dambuster' links are the signature of Dave Shannon and John Hopgood. The log also records that W/0 Leavesley was the regular WOP/AG to Flight Sergeant Lewis Johnstone Burpee DFM who would be killed on the 'Dams' raid. The log records flights from the 26th July 1940 through to his last flight in an Avro Anson on the 5th December 1945. Approximately 66 operations are listed some with comments about the raid.Recommendation for the Distinguished Flying Medal 26th June 1941. 50 Squadron RAF Sergeant Leavesley has been one of the most consistently reliable and courageous Wireless Operators in the Squadron. Throughout the winter months, he was a regular member of the crew Captained by Sergeant Ormonroyd DFM. The crew undertook all operations with cheerful and courageous spirit regardless of weather conditions or the strength of the defences of the target to be attacked. Their attacks were always pressed home with the greatest courage and determination. The cheerful demeanour of Sergeant Leavesley coupled with his skill as a wireless Operator undoubtedly contributed to a large extent to the successful completion of the many operations carried out by the crew. It is considered that Sergeant Leavesley’s service during the eight months he has served with the Squadron is worthy of recognition. Recommendation for the Bar to the Distinguished Flying Medal. 20th April 1943. 106 Squadron. Since the award of the DFM., Flight Sergeant Leavesley has completed 35 sorties, continuing to display cool courage and quiet efficiency. His technical ability and knowledge have been of the the greatest assistance to his pilot and Navigator and not once has he had a wireless failure. His fine record has been an inspiration and encouragement to the Squadron as a whole. Warrant Officer Eddie Leavesley DFM & Bar volunteered for aircrew and qualified as a WOP/AG being posted to his first operational Squadron in November 1940, at this time 50 Squadron was operating the Handley Page Hampden. He flew his first trip on the 7th November to Essen to bomb the Krupps works a round trip of 6 hours 50 minutes. Over the next few months he flew regular operations to Germany and occupied France, his first trip to Berlin taking place on the 12th March 1941. His last op with 50 Squadron was to Bremen on the 18th June 1941. Screened he was posted to 25 OTU and it was not until June 1942 that he was operational again with a posting to 106 Squadron flying the Avro Manchester and under the command of Wing Commander Guy Gibson, who would take a number of aircrew with him from the Squadron to form 617 Squadron and take part in the Dambuster Raid. As Leavesley had ended his first tour, he would begin his second tour with the same target a return trip to Bremen on the 25th June. At the end of June Wing Commander Gibson would sign his logbook for the first time. Converting to Lancasters in July 1942 his first trip on the type was a daylight raid to Danzig a ten hour round trip. During this period his regular pilot was a Flight Sergeant Jones, however a long way into his second tour he was crewed with Flight Sergeant Lewis Johnstone Burpee DFM. This pilot would become one of Gibson’s few and fail to return from the “Dams” raid. He would fly 14 trips with this pilot, visiting some of the most heavy defended targets in Germany. Screened from ops for a second time his last trip being to Lorient on the 13th February 1943, his log was signed for the last time by Gibson before being posted to 19 OTU. No one on 106 would have thought that within a month, Gibson would also be posted out to form 617 Squadron, lead the Dambuster Raid and become one of the RAF’s greatest legends. There would be no more operational flying for Eddie Leavesley however, he would fly with 19 OTU, No.4 (O) AFU and No.7 ANS before the war ended and he was issued with his demob.
