Description
A Royal Air Force “Special Edition” commemorative card dedicated to the Hawker Hurricane and No. 3 Squadron. The card features the squadron’s motto, “The third will be the first”, and has been personally autographed in black ink by Warrant Officer R.L. Crisford. Crisford was a veteran pilot who flew the Hawker Hurricane with No. 3 Squadron during the European campaign of the Second World War. No. 3 Squadron holds a significant place in RAF history, being the first unit to be equipped with the Hurricane in 1937 and serving with distinction throughout the conflict, including the Battle of France and the Battle of Britain. This item serves as a poignant piece of aviation ephemera, linking the collector to the service history of a specific WWII pilot and a prestigious fighter squadron.
Condition report:
The card is in excellent, clean condition. The signature is bold and remains unfaded. There are no signs of foxing, creasing, or edge wear. The item is currently housed in a protective clear plastic sleeve for preservation.
