For security reasons there was no mention of the words ‘battle order’ and Gibson instructed the operation order to be drawn up simply with the words ‘Night Flying Programme’. The colours red, white and grey only approximate to the three waves that were used in the action and their exact meaning is not clear. Provenance: Air Commodore John Nicholas Haworth Whitworth CB, DSO, DFC and Bar, RAF (1912-1974). A trained pilot, Whitworth was station commander of RAF Scampton during the time when planning for the ‘Dam Busters Raid’ was conducted and, besides the Operation commander Guy Gibson, the only military person at Scampton who was informed about the exact nature of 617 Squadron’s mission. In 1955 he was a technical advisor during the making of the The Dam Busters film, his part in the story being played by the actor Derek Farr.

113* Early Civil Passenger Aviation - North America.

Runyon, Governor of New Jersey, all written to the rectos of first fifteen leaves of a notebook, the remainder blank, a.e.g., contemp. limp suede with yapp edges, rubbed, some edge wear and upper cover near detached, 8vo A remarkable historical artefact from what were possibly the first ‘large-scale’ passenger flights in North America. Single passenger biplane flights had existed on a small scale from as early as 1914 but no aircraft of this huge size had been seen or used for civil aviation purposes up to this date. The Atlantic was built towards the end of World War One but the armistice having been declared found itself a new role as a potential contender to make the first transatlantic flight. It was shipped from England in more than 100 crates to Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, and assembled there in May/June 1919. The intention was to make the flight that summer, from North America back to Europe, but the six-man British military-trained crew of the Atlantic led by decorated war heroes Admiral Sir Mark Kerr and Major Herbert Brackley were stumped when Alcock and Brown made the first successful flight that June. Instead, Kerr decided to fly the Atlantic down to New York State. The aircraft took off on 4 July 1919, carrying aboard some of the earliest air mail envelopes in North America. Next day, the Atlantic had to make a forced landing at Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, and remained there for repairs until October. On 9 October 1919 it took off for New York, with 12 crew and more airmail. After a hard flight, the Atlantic made an emergency landing at Greenport, Long Island, at 10.45pm. Refuelled, it then took off for Mitchel Field where it remained for several weeks, carrying passengers, local dignitaries and journalists on a series of half-hour flights some over New York City and New Jersey. In November of 1919, the Atlantic set off of what would be its last flight. Heading for Chicago, it made a forced landing at Cleveland, and its wings were badly damaged.

The Atlantic was then broken up.

Not to be Shown to Anyone Without the Authority of the Directors, no publisher or date given, issued (presumably) early 1916, pp. 1-301, lacking one leaf, (p. 199-200) as in all known copies, orig. blue half morocco, spine and upper cover lettered in gilt, generally a little rubbed and marked, 4to (31.5 x 25cm) A compilation of almost daily memos (from 19 Aug 1914 to 4 March 1916) sent by F.H. Royce from his home in St. Margaret’s Bay, Kent, to the Derby Works. Mostly concerning conception, design and development of the V-2 Eagle aero engine, with additional coverage of what became the Hawk and the Falcon, the publication also gives a fascinating insight into the thought processes of a great designer.

The number of copies produced is not known but there is a consensus of opinion that it may be as few as 100. This copy has the number 52 in purple ink on the flyleaf. All copies lack one leaf (p. 199-200), possibly as a result of a memo unfairly criticising a jig or tool design, the unhappy craftsman complaining to Claude Johnson, the Managing Director, who promptly ordered the removal of the offending leaf.

A confidential letter of provenance available to the purchaser, stating that when he acquired it as the station was being run down and aircraft being scrapped, it was previously covered in old red paint, which he subsequently removed and has since preserved it in the restored polished finish as at present.

Having been summoned for war service the Cap Trafalgar was directed to go to the base armed with two 4.1” guns and six pompoms all manned by experienced naval personnel. It was at this base on 14th September 1914 that the Cap Trafalgar was discovered by the British armed merchant cruiser HMS Carmania.

Both captains realised that to fight a successful action they required plenty of room and so separately steamed several miles from the outcrop in order to gain the space required. The two ships turned to each other and began to fight, the Carmania firing too early and thus allowing the Cap Trafalgar the first blow. Carmania suffered much the worse of the engagement in ensuing two hours, being hit 79 times, was holed below the waterline and had her bridge totally destroyed by shellfire. However, as the range closed her own guns began to tell and fires broke out on both ships with sailors lining the rails and firing machine guns at their opposite numbers as the ships were within a few hundred yards of each other in a style of fighting more akin to the Napoleonic Wars. Just as it seemed that the fires on Carmania would burn out of control, Cap Trafalgar veered away, lowering lifeboats as she heeled over to port. A shell below the waterline had ruptured several compartments and the ship was rapidly sinking, 279 sailors were pulled from the wreck before she sank but 51 sailors were killed in fighting or sinking. Carmania was equally as shattered with 9 men dead and many more wounded.

Conditions of Sale and Business 7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded.

1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account.

8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer.

3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 19.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.

9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof.

10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.

4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared.

11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage.

The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions.

5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due.

12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses.

6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.

13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots.

14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein.

15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.

All framed and glazed items and all lots for overseas customers outside Europe will be sent to Mail Boxes Etc. (tel: Swindon 01793 525009) or R.F. Shipping (tel: London 0845 873 6240). Both of these companies will quote and invoice separately. Please note: DWBA invoices must be paid before consignments are handed to third party shipping companies.

Train journey times from London are on average 90 minutes whether direct or with one change, and run at about one per hour from early until late. Several of the trains in each direction are direct and about half the services require a brief change at Swindon. Customers are advised to check train times and book as early as possible for the best range of ticket services and discounts.
