Description

GIBSON GUY: (1918-1944) British Airman of World War II, Wing Commander of 617 Squadron. Victoria Cross winner for his actions during Operation Chastise (The Dambusters Raid) on the Mohne and Eder Dams in Germany, 16th May 1943. An extremely rare, early A.L.S., Guy, one page, 8vo, Oxford, n.d. (1932), to his grandmother ('My Dear Granny'), on the printed stationery of St. Edward's School. Gibson thanks his relative for their letter and a tin of cream, remarking that 'it was very nice and I enjoyed it very much, though I didn't get sick'. Gibson further apologises for not having written earlier as he has been 'very very busy' with Summer activities during the week and concludes 'Well now as the Chapel Bells our (sic) running down I must stop, and I hope that this gets to you as it leaves me - very well'. With some smudging to a few words of text, which Gibson apologises for in a postscript. Some very minor, extremely light foxing, VG

Gibson started at St. Edward's School in Oxford in 1932 and one of his fellow pupils was the future Battle of Britain fighter pilot Douglas Bader. Indeed, Gibson and Bader were both placed in the same house, Cowell's. Gibson's housemaster was A. F. 'Freddie' Yorke who became Gibson's guardian.
