Description
A Special Edition commemorative card for the Royal Air Force, specifically No. 166 Squadron of Bomber Command. The card is dedicated to the Avro Lancaster heavy bomber and features the squadron motto, Tenacity. It is personally hand-signed in black ink by Warrant Officer R.N. Noye, DFC, Ld’H. Warrant Officer Noye served as aircrew during the Second World War, flying operations over occupied Europe from RAF Kirmington in Lincolnshire. His decorations include the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC), a premier gallantry award for acts of valour and courage whilst flying in active operations against the enemy, and the French Légion d’honneur (Legion of Honour), likely awarded in recognition of his service during the liberation of France. The card serves as a poignant tribute to the crews of Bomber Command and the iconic Lancaster aircraft.
