Item Description
Original Items. Only One Lot of Three Available. This is a great lot of three framed signatures of three high-ranking officers of World War II. All three frames measure roughly 12¼ x 15¼”.
The signatures include:
- Vice Admiral Marc Andrew "Pete" Mitscher - a pioneer in naval aviation who became an admiral in the United States Navy, and served as commander of the Fast Carrier Task Force in the Pacific during World War II. Mitscher commanded the USS Hornet during the famous Doolittle Raid. The signature was framed out of an old VFW Hall in Pennsylvania.
- General Mark Wayne Clark - a United States Army officer who saw service during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. He was the youngest four-star general in the US Army during World War II. During World War I, he was a company commander and served in France in 1918, as a 22-year-old captain, where he was seriously wounded by shrapnel. After the war, the future US Army Chief of Staff, General George C. Marshall, noticed Clark's abilities. During World War II, he commanded the United States Fifth Army, and later the 15th Army Group, in the Italian campaign. He is known for leading the Fifth Army when it captured Rome in June 1944, around the same time as the Normandy landings. He was also the head of planning for Operation Torch, the largest seaborne invasion at the time. On 10 March 1945, at the age of 48, Clark became one of the youngest American officers promoted to the rank of four-star general. Dwight D. Eisenhower, a close friend, considered Clark to be a brilliant staff officer and trainer of men. The signature is on a 1945-dated envelope and was framed out of an old VFW Hall in Pennsylvania.
- General Carl Andrew Spaatz - nicknamed "Tooey", was an American World War II general. As commander of Strategic Air Forces in Europe in 1944, he successfully pressed for the bombing of the enemy's oil production facilities as a priority over other targets. He became Chief of Staff of the newly formed United States Air Force in 1947. The signature was framed out of an old VFW Hall in Pennsylvania.
This is a fantastic lot of signatures, ready for further research and display.
