jeffskea Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Hello, I'd like to share this draft VC recommendation for Flight Lietuenant Reid, VC, RAF. While I'm not qualified to date it, my impression is it looks authentic and type written on old paper. A very detailed account of Reid's action, included with this original was also a scan of what appears to be the post trip intelligence report, annotated with hand writing that appears to be questions from some authority who was investigating the action to deem if the VC was appropriate or not. If anyone has experience dating type written reports that would be greatly appreciated, I may also see how I can go about getting it authenticated. A small part of VC ephemera but a very intimate and close to the action detail of an incredibly heroic RAF pilot. I will get it nicely framed, would go very nice with a painting of Reid's action that I've seen by a notable aviation painter.
