Description
A commemorative Special Edition card dedicated to the Avro Lancaster and the personnel of No. 153 Squadron, Royal Air Force. The card features the squadron’s official motto, We see by night, and is personally hand-signed in ink by veteran Flight Sergeant T. Owen. No. 153 Squadron was a heavy bomber unit within Bomber Command, re-formed in October 1944 at RAF Kirmington before moving to RAF Scampton. Operating the Avro Lancaster, the squadron played a vital role in the final Allied strategic bombing campaign over occupied Europe. Such items are highly regarded by aviation historians and collectors of RAF ephemera, serving as a tangible link to the aircrews who served during the Second World War. Further research into the squadron Operations Record Books (ORBs) may provide additional details regarding Flight Sergeant Owen’s specific sorties and crew position.
