Description
A “Special Edition” commemorative card dedicated to the Avro Lancaster heavy bomber, representing the Royal Air Force’s strategic bombing campaign during the Second World War. The card is specifically associated with No. 622 Squadron, which operated as part of No. 3 Group, Bomber Command, out of RAF Mildenhall. It features the squadron’s English-translated motto, “We wage war by night”. The piece is hand-signed in bold black ink by Warrant Officer W. Gould, a veteran who flew Lancasters with the squadron in the European Theatre of Operations. Such items are highly regarded by collectors of RAF militaria and Bomber Command ephemera, providing a tangible connection to the aircrews of the period.

The item has been well-maintained and is currently housed in a protective clear plastic sleeve.
