Description
A Royal Air Force Special Edition commemorative card dedicated to the Hawker Tempest fighter and the history of No. 274 Squadron. The card features the squadron motto, I overcome, and has been personally signed in blue ink by Flight Lieutenant J. Davies. Flt Lt Davies was a veteran pilot who flew the Hawker Tempest V with the squadron during operations in the European Theatre. No. 274 Squadron is particularly noted for its vital role in Anti-Diver patrols, intercepting V-1 flying bombs, and its subsequent transition to intensive ground-attack sorties across North-West Europe in the final stages of the war. This item represents a significant piece of aviation ephemera relating to one of the RAFs most powerful piston-engined fighters and is highly desirable for collectors of late-war RAF history.
Condition report:
The card is in excellent, near-mint condition. It remains clean with sharp corners and crisp, high-quality printing. The signature of Flight Lieutenant Davies is clear, bold, and shows no signs of fading or smudging. The item is currently protected within a clear plastic sleeve.
