Rare Second World War pictures go on sale for Bomber Command appeal

I am fortunate to have some Charles E brown prints of my own. When The Sun cleared out a section of the general library I was instructed to do the "war - defence" area. This was in 1987. I did a good job of it, sympathetically - but the manager wanted more to go and did a big trawl himself. He always ripped prints into four parts to assure destruction. He piled up a great selection of aviation pix ready to destroy and I managed to go through it while he was at lunch. I kept the Charles E Brown stuff because he is a legend. A colleague of mine worked with him in a round about way and says he was a "nice little man". I cherish the prints and will never part with them. He would have made them himself.

 

I have two books of his work and thoroughly recommend his stuff to the house.
