Description

This commemorative Special Edition card is dedicated to the North American P-51 Mustang as operated by the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. The card is specifically associated with No. 112 Squadron, the famous Shark Squadron, and displays their official motto Swift in destruction. The item is hand-signed in black ink by the late Squadron Leader Edward Ted Twiggy Trees, a distinguished veteran pilot who flew the Mustang with No. 112 Squadron during campaigns in South East Europe. The card is printed on heavy white cardstock with a decorative blue border and includes printed text verifying the pilot’s service history. This piece serves as a significant historical link to the Mediterranean Allied Air Forces (MAAF) operations and is a desirable item for collectors of RAF pilot signatures and squadron memorabilia. Measurements: Approx. 150mm x 105mm.
