Description
This is a modern commemorative Special Edition aviation card, likely produced in the late 20th or early 21st century as part of a series honouring Second World War veterans. The card features a printed orange decorative border and commemorates the Vickers Wellington aircraft and the service of Flight Lieutenant F. Johnson, DFC. It is personally autographed in black ink by Flt Lt Johnson. The text reads: VICKERS WELLINGTON. No. 36 Squadron Royal Air Force Eagle king of the sky Flight Lieutenant F. Johnson DFC. A lower caption states: This Special Edition card has been personally signed by a Veteran who flew in the Vickers Wellington while serving with No 36 Squadron in the Desert. No. 36 Squadron was a notable unit that operated Wellingtons in the Middle East and Mediterranean theatres during the conflict, performing anti-submarine and bombing missions. This item serves as a significant piece of military history, linking the iconic geodetic bomber with a decorated pilot.
