This is a rare and historic WWII archive of US Navy pilot Lt. Porter, who was from the state of California. Porter flew a dive bomber with Bombing Squadron FIVE (VB-5), which was part of Air Group FIVE and attached to the USS Yorktown (CV-10) during World War II. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and 4 Air Medals for his WWII service. He flew several combat missions in the Pacific, including to Marcus Island, Wake Island, the Gilbert Islands, the Marshall Islands, and Truk Atoll. After WWII, Porter served aboard the USS Randolph (CVA-15). He eventually attained the rank of Commander and became the commanding officer of Heavy Attack Squadron 2 (VAH-2). In 1960, he was killed when the Navy A3D Sky Warrior bomber he was piloting crashed in the United States. This archive contains items pertaining to Lt. This extensive grouping includes the following. Distinguished Flying Cross (not engraved) with case, ribbon bar, and lapel pin. Original documents pertaining to his second Air Medal, including recommendation for award and temporary citation (awarded for actions at Truk Atoll on February 17, 1944); includes document signed by Vice Admiral Mitscher. US Navy gold pilot’s wings (maker marked Balfour). French Naval Aviation pilot wings. Original documents awarding the French Naval Aviation pilot wings (awarded for training French pilots). 1 USN officer’s pin maker marked N. 1 USN gold oak leaf insignia pin (maker marked Amcraft). 2 USN silver oak leaf insignia pins maker marked N.

Several original photographs from air attacks on Pacific islands, including Truk Atoll. Original charts of Marcus Island and Wake Island.

This is an amazing opportunity to own a museum quality collection of ephemera relating to. Lieutenant (War Substantive) S W J. Regular Army Emergency Commissions’ Civil Affairs Unit Norway. Ferguson was in Leeds City Police before joining the Civil Affairs Unit under the command of Brigadier Percy Hansen VC (Head of Civil Affairs Unit, Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force Mission to Norway). With the ephemera is a 2/19th Civil Affairs book which states Ferguson’s name, rank, former unit (Leeds City Police) and present role: Public Safety Group F. The 2/19 CA Unit booklet also confirms Ferguson’s address which is on many other personal documents as:’4 The Drive Roundhay Leeds. This all ties in with his history in Leeds and Leeds City Police. His date of birth is confirmed in different documents, there is also a large group photo from’PEEL HOUSE’ in 1942, with it is an original document showing all the names of the people on the photo (including his). There are many original press photos of a police parade in Leeds (possibly VE 1945), a personal photo album. Dating from the 1920s. Certificates from is school days, photos of his parents, his wedding photo and order of service from is wedding etc etc. Really too many items to list them all! There is also a LEEDS CITY war tin, dated 1945. All comes as a lot in a briefcase stamped I. (I believe this to be his wife’s). THIS IS ALL RELATED TO. Ferguson and documents his childhood through to his service with Leeds City Police and his WAR SERVICE in WW2 and his work for Civil. Affairs Unit, Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force Mission to Norway. I will post worldwide but please check cost if you live in Australia/Africa/South or Central America or Japan.
