In full: "Your letter of September 18th reached my office during my
absence on leave, hence the delay in replying. I am honored by your request for
my autographed photograph to be included in your collection, and am happy to
enclose it herewith. From what you write of your collection, it must be quite an
impressive one and I wish you every success in your goal to make it complete.
Sincerely." EAKER made the first transcontinental flight purely on
instruments (1936). On August 17, 1942, he led the first heavy bomber
(B-17) attack on continental Europe, a raid on Rouen, France. In
1944, he was named Commander of the Mediterranean Allied Air Forces. In 1970,
Eaker was enshrined in the National Aviation Hall of Fame. Slightly
soiled. Otherwise, fine condition.
