118812Very Good. A gelatin silver print 216 × 166 mm lightly creased at the corner-tips; in excellent condition. The aircraft appear to be a Sopwith Camel and two Avro 504s specific models not determined. Offered with two other photographs of a biplane possibly a Sopwith Camel in the air: one is silhouetted above billowing sunlit clouds 147 × 199 mm printed without margins; the other is shown flying between clouds above hedgerows and fields 216 × 166 mm. We purchased these photographs with a small group of aerial photographs of Leighterton Aerodrome. <p>'By 1917 the Australian Flying Corps AFC consisted of four operational squadrons which outstripped the ability of the Army's Central Flying School at Point Cook to supply sufficient trained airmen. It was decided therefore to establish training squadrons within the AFC. Four such squadrons were subsequently established in the United Kingdom during 1917. 8 Squadron AFC was formed at Wendover on 24 October 1917. It was originally identified as 33 Australian Training Squadron Royal Flying Corps but was renamed along with all of the Australian squadrons in January 1918. The squadron relocated to Cirencester on 9 January 1918 and thence to Leighterton where it remained until disbanded in April 1919. The squadron's principal role was to prepare personnel for service with what was at first 71 Australian Squadron RFC and subsequently 4 Squadron AFC which was operating with British forces over the Western Front' Australian War Memorial website. 3 items. unknown

192837428Argentina: El Grafico 1928. 1928. Good. - A 12-1/8 inch high by 8-3/4 inch wide leaf from the Argentinian sports magazine "El Grafico" with a full-page illustration of the American aviator & explorer Carl Ben Eielson in the year he and Sir George Hubert Wilkins flew from North America over the North Pole to Europe. Eielson attired in a heavy coat over pilot's leather pants and wearing a leather pilot's hat is pictured against a background of snow next to the polar explorer George Hubert Wilkins. The corners are slightly creased and there are stab-marks along the page's right edge. A color illustration of the "Primera Division del Club Atletico Boca Juniors" soccer team is portrayed on the verso. Good. <p>The American aviator bush pilot and explorer Carl Ben Eielson 1897-1929 learned to fly in the U.S. Army Air Service in 1917 and served in the Signal Corps during the First World War. While supporting himself as a Capitol police officer while studying law at Georgetown Law School he met Daniel Sutherland then Alaska's delegate to Congress who convinced him to move there. Eielson flew the first air mail in Alaska from Fairbanks to McGrath in 1924. In 1927 he explored the drift ice north of Alaska with the Australian Polar explorer George Hubert Wilkins and was the first to land a "land plane" onto drift ice. In 1928 Eielsen flew from Point Barrow over the North Pole to Spitsbergen a 20 hour flight. He accompanied Wilkins on his Antarctic Expedition in 1928 and they were thus the first to have flown over both polar regions. Eielson established Alaskan Airways shortly before he and his mechanic Earl Borland died in a crash in Siberia as they attempted to evacuate crew and merchandise from the cargo ship the Nanuk trapped in the ice at North Cape.<p>Founded by Constancio Vigil in 1919 "El Grafico" was an Argentine sports magazine which started as a weekly newspaper before subsequently turning exclusively to the coverage of sports. One of the most highly regarded sports magazines in Latin America it came to earn the nickname "La Biblia de deporte" "The Bible of sports". Argentina: El Grafico, [1928]. hardcover

From the publisher: "A-Train is the story of one of the black Americans who during World War II graduated from Tuskegee AL Flying School and served as a pilot in the Army Air Corps 99th Pursuit Squadron. Charles W. Dryden presents a fast-paced balanced and personal account of what it was like to prepare for a career traditionally closed to African Americans how he coped with the frustrations and dangers of combat and how he along with many fellow black pilots navigators bombardiers and crewmen emerged with a magnificent war record. Under the command of Colonel Benjamin O. Davis Jr. the Tuskegee airmen fought over North Africa Sicily and Europe escorting American bomber crews who respected their 'no-losses' record. Some were shot down many of them were killed or captured by the enemy and several won medals of valor and honor. But the airmen still faced great barriers of racial prejudice in the armed forces and at home. As a member of that elite group of young pilots who fought for their country overseas while being denied civil liberties at home Dryden presents an eloquent story that will touch each and every reader." From Wikipedia: "Alexander Jefferson November 15 1921 June 22 2022 was an American Air Force officer famous as one of the Tuskegee Airmen the 332nd Fighter Group. He served in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. His book Red Tail Captured Red Tail Free: Memoirs of a Tuskegee Airman and POW is a personal memoir of those who served America in World War II and after."

Single sheet, measuring 8.25 x 6.0 ins (approx. 21.0 x 15.0 cms), on printed stationery from Learoyd's home in Rustington, and dated 7 September 1995; near fine state. THE LETTER IS WRITTEN, DATED AND SIGNED ENTIRELY IN LEAROYD'S HAND, AND IS SOLD WITH A POOR QUALITY PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT. Roderick Alastair Brook Learoyd was gazetted for the Victoria Cross on 20 August 1940. The citation reads: 'On 12 August 1940 Flight Lieutenant Learoyd was one of the pilots briefed to bomb the Dortmund-Ems Canal in Germany. Of the four other aircraft which had already made the attack on that night, two were destroyed and two were badly hit. Flight Lieutenant Learoyd took his plane into the target at only 150 feet, in the full glare of the searchlights and flak barrage all around him. The aircraft was very badly damaged but the bombs were duly dropped and he managed to get his crippled plane back to England where he flew round until first light, finally landing without causing injury to his crew or further damage to his aircraft'. Flight Lieutenant (later Wing Commander) Roderick Alastair Brook Learoyd (1913-1996) was serving with 49 Squadron, Bomber Command.
Single sheet, 8vo., a near fine copy. Signed simply 'Tedder' in the writer's usual manner, the letter is written to Geoffrey Moore, founder of the Buccaneers Cricket Club, and demonstrates the airman's keen and continuing interest in the sport. Tedder was President of Surrey County Cricket Club from 1953 to 1958. The letter regretfully declines Moore's invitation to attend the Buccaneer's annual dinner (held at Lords): 'I've already got a date I can't budge!'. Marshal of the RAF Arthur William Tedder, 1st Baron Tedder (1890-1967) was one of Britain's most distinguished air commanders. Educated at Whitgift School and Magdalene College, Cambridge, he transferred from the Dorsetshire Regiment to the Royal Flying Corps in 1916, serving in France from 1915- to 1917 and in Egypt from 1918 to 1919. He was then commissioned in to the (new) Royal Air Force where was appointed Director of Training from 1934 to 1936, after which he became Commander RAF Far Eastern Forces. During WWII he was head of RAF Middle East Command, controlling Allied air operations in the Mediterranean and North Africa, including the evacuation of Crete and the defeat of Rommel; his air power was a vital component of Montgomery's victory at El Alamein. Having been promoted to Air Marshal, Tedder then took part in the early planning for D-Day, and was subsequently appointed Deputy Supreme Commander Allied Forces Europe (the most senior such British position) immediately beneath General Eisenhower, on whose behalf he signed at the German Surrender in 1945. In 1947 he delivered the Lees Knowles lecture, afterwards published as 'Air Power in War'. Following his retirement he served as Chancellor of Cambridge University and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Governors of the BBC. Founded in 1930, The Buccaneers is one of the oldest and most famous 'wandering' clubs in English cricket (a 'wandering' club has no fixed home ground but plays consistently as an 'away' team relying on the hospitality of the 'home' clubs against which it competes). The Club's history has been written twice, by Clifford Bax in 1956 and more recently by Howard Spencer. ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS SIGNED BY TEDDER ARE EXTREMELY SCARCE.
