WW2 Barnes Wallis, Mick Martin and Arthur Harris signed 1972 Dambusters Lancaster and Vulcan bomber cover. Rare collection of WW2 autographs. Sir Barnes Neville Wallis CBE FRS RDI FRAeS (26 September 1887 - 30 October 1979) was an English engineer and inventor. He is best known for inventing the bouncing bomb used by the Royal Air Force in Operation Chastise (the, Dambusters, raid) to attack the dams of the Ruhr Valley during World War II. The raid was the subject of the 1955 film The Dam Busters, in which Wallis was played by Michael Redgrave. Among his other inventions were his version of the geodetic airframe and the earthquake bomb. Good condition. All autographs are genuine hand signed and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide. UK postage from £5.99, EU from £7.99, Rest of World from £10.
