This is a specially produced bookplate with an original pencil drawing with white highlights on sepia recycled card. The drawing, by Steve Teasdale, features Battle of Britain Ace Don Kingaby. His genuine signature is professionally mounted underneath the drawing.
The bookplate would fit in most books on the Battle of Britain and would really enhance a copy of First Light by Geoffrey Wellum, who Don Kingaby flew with.
Donald Ernest Kingaby, DSO, AFC, DFM & Two Bars was the only person to be awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal three times. During an operational career of some 300 operations, Kingaby scored 21 air victories against enemy aircraft, as well as two shared victories, six probables and 11 damaged during the war.
