1st WAR AIR ACE. RONALD GRAHAM. A small oblong (6 x 9.5 inch) landscape shaped 1918-19 Christmas Greetings card with a colour tipped in paste-down illustration with the signature in the image by "R. Graham" who at this time was commanding this squadron. The image showing a downed German bi-plane on fire with pilot and gunner in the snow and the victorious British pilot waving cheekily goodbye. The plane must be a Sopwith-Camel as issued to the pilots in this group. Gilt lettering on cover and message reads"He's crashed for Good." (A indication peace had been declared?). "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" on cover and inside left opposite the illustration. As new condition with minor blemish to outer edge. 3 were bought together in a lot in a house clearance at auction about 7 years ago we sold one at the time and NO more will be appearing after these 2. We genuinely have 2 only. *Hist NOTE. Flight Sub-Lt Ronald Graham R.N.A.S. was awarded with Bar The Distinguished Service Medal in September 1916 for "Conspicuous Gallantry" both for beating off 4 enemy seaplanes whilst on escort duty and later dropping to 300 ft to drop his bombs on a sea-plane station at Zeebrugge. This squadron was wound up in March 1919 after only 11 months as a newly named RAF squadron after the inception of the RAF. The officer went on the become Air Vice-Marshall in WW2. Died in 1967. Born in 1898. VERY RARE item on many levels. Ignore postal fees we will reduce to a �1 cost the lowest Abe will accept as a postage cost (worldwide). It will go letter rate insured.

Anbieterinformationen

We are a small, single-owner business. We have been operating on and off since 1977 and our stock is varied, leaning towards antiquarian and 19th century with the addition of original aquatint and lithographic, or woodcut engravings. Also maps and Ephemera - in fact, anything interesting on paper really. We have in stock every item we list. We do not use stock photographs, but photograph each item individually. We very rarely use "fine" or "mint" as a description, mainly due to the age and the fact that 99.9% of what we sell has been pre-owned and therefor Fine would not be a term for a book we sell despite its fine-like appearance. We always take items back unreservedly if not in the condition as described. We always try to describe fully.
