Description
Korea War Lt Cdre Brian Ellis 802 sqn signed Hawker Sea Fury Biography Card. 7 x 5 inch limited edition Printed card with border, perfect for matting or use as bookplate. Qualifying as a fighter pilot he served with 802 Naval Sqn during the Korean War and Suez Campaign. Whilst flying a Sea Fury from HMS Ocean in Korea in 1952 alongside famous pilot Peter ‘Hoagy’ Carmichael, Brian was involved in a dogfight with MiG-15s which resulted in him defeating one over Pyongyang. New research has now credited this as the first recorded Royal Navy victory of a piston-engine aircraft over a jet fighter in the Korean War.
