Venable Jr., O-728242, Navigator aboard the B-17F "Old Bill" Bomber, #42-29673. KIA when 20mm explosive rounds from a German FW-109 blew apart the nose of the bomber on May 15, 1943. (1) Named and Numbered Silver Star. Government engraving. Numbered 61044 on the edge. Original case and ribbon included. Also included are photocopies of the damaged bomber, the crew, and a typed story detailing the course of events on May 15, 1943. 2nd Lieutenant Douglas Randolph Venable Jr. served as the Navigator aboard the B-17F "Old Bill" Bomber, #42-29673. On May 15, 1943, bombers from the 422nd took off from Chelveston Airfield en route to Wilhelmshaven for a bombing mission. Before the formation could reach bombing altitude, they were attacked by 60 enemy fighters and 10 bombers. "Old Bill" was hit and had its oxygen system shot out and wounded its pilot, Captain William D. Whitson, in the leg. With no oxygen, Whitson was forced to break formation and move to a lower altitude to avoid suffocation. Surviving off portable oxygen tanks, the straggling "Old Bill" was swarmed by approximately 20 German fighters. One after another, the fighters made head-on runs of the damaged bomber, eventually blowing off the plexiglass nose with 20mm explosive rounds, killing 2nd Lieutenant Venable Jr. The majority of the crew was wounded with one killed and the plane heavily damaged. Regardless of the circumstances, the turret gunners returned fire, and shot down several attacking fighters. With down engines, a buckled wing, no hydraulics, a wounded crew and 200 mph winds blowing in from the nose, pilot Whitson managed to deadstick land the bomber back at Chelveston Airfield, and collapsed over the control column when stopped. At that point in the war, no other bomber from the 305th BG had sustained this much damage and survived. The crew of "Old Bill" were awarded eight Silver Stars, two DFC's and eight Purple Hearts, and became the most decorated crew in the entire bomb group. 2nd Lieutenant Venable Jr. is buried at the Parkhill Cemetery in Columbus, GA.

Tatarakis was born November 3, 1929 in Fresno County, California. Originally a member of the 3rd Airborne Ranger Infantry Company, and was later transferred to the 8240th Army Unit to serve as a Jumpmaster. On February 19, 1952 Tatarakis was an assistant jumpmaster on a nighttime insertion mission to drop six Chinese agents behind enemy lines near Wonsan, North Korea. As the agents jumped from the C-46 Commando, one threw a hand grenade back into the aircraft revealing himself to be a double agent. According to survivor Master Sergeant Davis Harrison, Tatarakis was able to exit the aircraft, which soon crashed, and was seen with his parachute open. Chinese and North Korean agents in the area reported seeing an American POW being turned over to Soviet officials.

During the Vietnam War he served as a Hospital Corpsman with the Headquarters and Service Company, 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines, 3rd Marine Division. On July 15, 1966 during the opening stages of Operation Hastings the 3/4 Marines flew into the Song Ngan River Valley aboard CH-46 Helicopters to locate and destroy uniformed units of the PAVN who were infiltrating south of the DMZ. Members of the H & S Company were some of the first to land at LZ Crow but as more of the CH-46s came to land they realized the LZ was too small for the amount of helicopters coming in. One helicopter hit some trees on the edge of the LZ, two more were able to land safely but their rotor blades collided, and another was shot down by enemy AA fire. Morris was originally believed to be aboard the CH-46 that was shot down but later it was found that he was killed from debris from one of the crashes or from a helicopter accidentally landing on him. He is buried at Oak Hill Cemetery, Meldrim, Georgia and is memorialized on the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial, Panel 09e, Line 25 in Washington DC.

In the early 1870s, he attended Cornell University but left to serve as his father’s secretary during his tenure as Governor of Ohio and later as President of the United States. During the 1880s, Hayes joined the 1st Cleveland Troop, also known as the 1st City Troop or the Black Horse Troop, where he served as an NCO and earned the Horsemanship badge. With the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, he was commissioned as a Major in the 1st Ohio Cavalry and took part in the first expedition against Havana. He later participated in the campaigns in Santiago de Cuba and Puerto Rico. While crossing the San Juan River, Hayes was wounded, but was still able to participate in the assault on San Juan Hill on July 1, 1898. The following year, he was commissioned as a Lieutenant Colonel in the 31st U.S. Infantry during the Philippine Insurrection. Just hours after he landed in Manila in November of 1899, he led a daring rescue mission to free U.S. soldiers on Vigan Island. For this he was awarded the Medal of Honor. Hayes continued his distinguished military career, and served in the Boxer Rebellion, the China Relief Expedition, the Russo-Japanese War, and finally World War I. He initially served as a Special Agent for the U.S. State Department, and was later commissioned as a Colonel and deployed to the Italian front as a regional commander of the American Expeditionary Forces. Beyond his military service, Hayes was a businessman, philanthropist and adventurer. He played a pivotal role in the establishment of the first Presidential Library, the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center, in 1916. He passed away on July 26, 1934, in Marion, Ohio. Weight: Medal Weight: 17.8g Provenance: Lifetime Military Memorabilia & Arms Collection of Peter L.

WWII UK RAF ACE & POW DOUGLAS BADER RED CROSS BOX
Lot #125478 (Sale Order 475 of 889)
WWII UK RAF ACE & POW DOUGLAS BADER RED CROSS BOX WWII British RAF Ace and POW Douglas Bader's Red Cross Parcel. Sent to Bader during his time as a POW at Oflag IV-C (Officer's Camp), or more commonly known as Colditz Castle, in Saxony, Germany. The parcel is cardboard construction with multiple red cross labels in English and German. It is addressed to Bader and dated 1943. Included with this parcel is a chemical analysis letter from the Stafford University Science Department dated March 18, 2000, stating the box "Hasn't been made up in the last 50 years". Also included is a photograph of Bader's wife, Lady Joan Bader, holding this parcel box. Douglas Bader was a decorated RAF fighter ace during World War II. In 1931, while performing acrobatics in his plane, Bader crashed and lost both his lower legs. Subsequently, he was grounded by the RAF and medically retired. He fought for years to return to flight status and at the outbreak of WWII, he returned to flying with two prosthetic legs. He quickly became a rising star, and went on to command No. 242 Squadron in the Battle of Britain. Later, he led the Tangmere Wing, engaged in large-scale aerial battles against the German Luftwaffe. By 1941, he had achieved at least 22 confirmed kills. In August 1941, Bader’s Spitfire was shot down over France. He parachuted to safety but was captured by German forces. During his bailout, one of his artificial legs detached. The Germans recognized him, and arranged for the British to drop a replacement in what became known as "Operation Leg." As a POW, Bader repeatedly tried to escape, and often used his influence to boost prisoner morale. His persistent attempts led to his transfer to Colditz Castle, a high-security prison for habitual escapees. He remained there until April 1945, when Allied forces liberated the camp. Size: 6 1/2" x 10" x 4" Condition: Good. Moderate wear and stains. Estimate: 1000-2000

It is not known as to specifically when or in what capacity he may have worn it. Powers can be viewed wearing the same type of suit on the story about "The Powers Incident" at the National Museum Of The United States Air Force website. A copy of that image is also attached as the last image of this lot listing. Francis Gary Powers was born August 17, 1929, in Jenkins, Kentucky. He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1952 as a Photo Laboratory Technician and was later commissioned as a Second Lieutenant after completing flight training. In 1956, Powers was recruited by the CIA for its U-2 Spy Plane Program, and conducted covert reconnaissance missions over the Soviet Union. After he was discharged from the Air Force as a Captain in May 1956, he became a pilot with the CIA. On May 1, 1960, while piloting a U-2 Spy Plane over Soviet territory, Powers was shot down by a Soviet S-75 Dvina surface-to-air missile. He survived the crash, was captured, and sentenced to 10 years in a Soviet prison for espionage. The incident caused an international crisis, exposed the U.S. espionage efforts and derailed a planned peace summit, and further escalated Cold War tensions. Powers served 21 months in prison before he was released in a US-Soviet prisoner exchange in 1962. He went on to work as a test pilot for Lockheed until 1970, when he was dismissed following the publication of his book, "Operation Overflight." Subsequently, he became a helicopter pilot for KNBC Channel 4 in Los Angeles. On August 1, 1977, Powers died in a helicopter crash while covering the brush fires in Santa Barbara County, CA. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Size: Medium Regular Condition: Very good. Light wear. Zippers in functioning order. Estimate: 1000-2000
WWII D-DAY FLOWN FLAG OF LST 331 - UTAH BEACH
Lot #125513 (Sale Order 510 of 889)
WWII D-DAY FLOWN FLAG OF LST 331 - UTAH BEACH Historically Important WWII D-Day Flown Flag of LST-331 - Utah, Omaha, & Sword Beaches, Invasion of Normandy. Brought back by Bronze Star Recipient and LST Group Thirty-Five’s Senior Medical Officer, Lieutenant Harry Clarke Lawther, Medical Corps, USNR, who served aboard LST-331 during D-Day and the days following. The flag and accompanying items are consigned by Lawther's family. This 48-star US Ensign Flag was flown aboard LST-331 (Landing Ship, Tank) on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The ship was assigned to LST Flotilla Twelve, LST Group Thirty-Five, LST Division Seventy and played a pivotal role in multiple Allied operations, including the North African Occupation, Operation Husky (the invasion/occupation of Sicily), Operation Avalanche (the landings at Salerno), and Operation Overlord (the Normandy invasion / D-Day). LST-331 participated in the early landings at Utah Beach as one of 11 Coast Guard-Manned Navy LST’s actively taking part in the invasion. On June 6th, LST-331 initially delivered supplies, troops, and vehicles in support of the US Army’s 4th Infantry Division. From D-Day through June 25, LST-331 contributed significantly to Allied beachhead support operations. It landed at Omaha Beach and was reported to have discharged troops, vehicles, and anti-tank guns of the British Army’s Kings Own Shropshire Light Infantry on Queen Red-Sword Beach.

(You may need to copy & paste the link in a browser) https://photos.app.goo.gl/HKTwUHz3ihNFHzGR8 This lot includes the following - 48-star US Ensign Flag flown aboard LST-331 on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The Flag is multi-piece, linen/wool construction with machine embroidered stars and a reinforced header with four brass grommets. “US ENS” partial ink stamp present, but extremely faded. The ends of the flag are frayed. Approximate size: 30" x 42". Photocopy of “Secret” Bronze Star recommendation letter for Lawther, written by LST-331’s C.O., Lieutenant William Daniel Strach Jr., USCGR. On June 15, 1944, LST-331 landed on Queen Red, Sword Beach and was ordered to beach and dry out in order to discharge her load of troops, vehicles and anti-tank guns of the King’s Shropshire Light Infantry. When the ship was dried out beyond possibility of retracting, a German battery of 105mm Howitzers, some 8,000 yards to the east, opened fire onto the seven beached LSTs. A shell burst and sprayed shrapnel onto the deck of LST-331, injuring several men and causing damage. Lieutenant Lawther managed to evacuate the casualties to the beach and then proceeded to turn back to LST-331 (which was the most exposed ship) in order to render aid to anyone if necessary. Pair of USN Lieutenant Commander Shoulder Boards (2) Ribbon Bars with European–African–Middle Eastern Campaign (4 Battle Stars) and American Campaign ribbons. LST-331 remained in service for only a short period following the June 15 attack, as it was decommissioned on November 20, 1944 and transferred to the British Royal Navy as HM LST-331. The British utilized LST-331 in their Far East Campaigns as a part of “W” Task Force, 6th Flotilla, traveling down the Coast of Burma and recapturing Rangoon, participating in the Invasion of Malaya and Port Swettenham, Singapore, Bangkok and assisted in the return of former P.O.W.s of the Japanese. LST-331 completed service in the Royal Navy on March 16, 1946 and was given back to the US Navy where it was stripped, scuttled and sunk in the Subic Bay, Philippines. During its tenure with the U.S., LST-331 earned the American Campaign Medal, Europe-Africa-Middle East Campaign Medal (4 battle stars) and the World War II Victory Medal. The Allied Invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 (D-Day), involved nearly 160,000 Allied Troops (half of whom were American). The D-Day Invasion, and the sacrifice of those involved, signaled a turning point in the WWII European theater, and contributed largely to the defeat of Germany. Only a handful of legitimate D-Day flown flags are known to exist in the market. As such, this D-Day Flown Flag is an exceptional piece of history. All items in this lot are consigned by the family of Lieutenant Harry Clark Lawther. All items included have been in the direct possession of the family since being brought back by Lawther. Also included from the Consignor (Widow of Lawther's son) is a signed statement of fact / provenance. Condition: Flag is battle worn. All else is very good. Estimate: 15000-20000
WWII USN "OSCAR" PARATROOPER PARADUMMY PROTOTYPE
Lot #125514 (Sale Order 511 of 889)
WWII USN "OSCAR" PARATROOPER PARADUMMY PROTOTYPE Scarce WWII US Navy "Oscar" Decoy Paratrooper Paradummy Prototype. Tested by the Navy Beach Jumper Unit in 1943. Olive drab repainted, metal alloy construction. No visible marks. Post war added parachute pack and belt. Original WWII silk flare parachute. Included with "Oscar" are testing history research and a DVD containing declassified footage from the OSS Field Photographic Branch, exhibiting the Beach Jumper Unit tests of "Oscar" in March and May 1943 at Camp Bradford, Virginia. During World War II, the U.S. Navy's Beach Jumper Unit was tasked with developing and implementing deception strategies in preparation for Operation Overlord. One such tactic involved the deployment of decoy paratroopers, known as "paradummies," designed to divert enemy attention and potentially lure opposing forces into ambushes. The first prototype, nicknamed "Oscar," was constructed from cast metal and equipped with a parachute. However, following testing, "Oscar" was deemed ineffective due to its size and rigidity, prompting a reassessment of the design. Despite this initial setback, the concept of paradummies persisted, leading to the successful development of improved models that were effectively deployed by Allied forces during the Normandy Invasion. Size: 18 1/4" x 4" x 7 1/4" Condition: Good. Moderate wear and damage to the left arm and back. The consignor repainted Oscar and added the parachute pack and belt (both are contemporary / post war) for aesthetics. Estimate: 1500-2500

He authored the 1774 "Petition to the King", 1775 "Olive Branch Petition", and "Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania". During the vote for the Declaration of Independence he abstained, favoring diplomacy over violence due to his Quaker upbringing and was worried the declaration would escalate the Revolutionary War. Even so, Dickinson served as a Pennsylvania militia officer during the war. After the British were defeated and the colonies were free, he served as the President of Delaware from 1781-1783 and President of Pennsylvania 1782-1785. He was also a signer of the US Constitution. Dickinson passed away in 1808 and is the namesake of Dickinson College in Pennsylvania. Condition: Very good. Small stains. Pay order is fragile. Estimate: 150-300
