Description

I have drawn a portrait type picture of this famous RAF pilot sitting inside his Spitfire after a sortie. Bob Stanford Tuck's actual autograph (in pencil) sits beneath this, and below that are a pair of replica RAF pilot wings with the King's crown.

After WW2 he became good friends with old adversary Luftwaffe ace Adolf Galland with whom he gave technical advice on the 1969 Battle of Britain film, and died in 1987.
