Description
This is a contemporary commemorative Special Edition card dedicated to the Avro Lancaster and No. 622 Squadron of the Royal Air Force. The card features a printed double-line border and central text including the squadron motto, We wage war by night. It is hand-signed in black ink by Warrant Officer Frank Hogan. No. 622 Squadron was a heavy bomber unit formed at RAF Mildenhall in 1943, playing a significant role in the Allied strategic bombing offensive during the Second World War. These cards were typically produced in limited numbers for veterans’ associations or specialised aviation memorabilia collectors to preserve the history of Bomber Command. Transcribed text: AVRO LANCASTER, No. 622 Squadron, Royal Air Force, We wage war by night, Warrant Officer F. Hogan. The footer confirms the signature’s authenticity, noting it was personally signed by a veteran who served with the squadron in Europe.
