WW2 AVM Harry Broadhurst signed Avro Lincoln bomber cover. Air Chief Marshal Sir Harry Broadhurst, GCB, KBE, DSO and Bar, DFC and Bar, AFC (28 October 1905 - 29 August 1995), commonly known as Broady, was a senior Royal Air Force commander and flying ace of the Second World War. On 4 July 1941, leading No. 54 Squadron as Red 1, he was involved in a dogfight with Bf 109s, claiming two Bf 109Es destroyed at 15.30 over Bethune before he was hit and his aircraft badly damaged by a Bf 109.[2] He managed to return to base, belly landing his crippled Spitfire, even if with slight splinters in left arm and left thigh.[2] On 7 July 1941 his Spitfire Mk.Vb was severely damaged by a JG 26 pilot.[3] In the combat he was Red 1 and claimed 1-1-0 Bf 109F at 09.50 over Gravelines area. In May 1942 he became Senior Air Staff Officer (SASO), No. 11 Group, although he continued to fly operationally where possible. His final kill claims were made on 19 August 1942, bringing his total to 13 destroyed, seven probables and 10 damaged. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
