Where I work there is a sort of jumble sale at the beginning of each month. As the mug who has to move the new stuff that comes in, I benefit from first pick. I saw these aviation prints and thought, "very nice" and then I saw the sigs and thought "Oh wow!" I have explained they are quite valuable but the lady in charge said a donation would be fine so my conscious is clear.
First is a Robert Taylor print, "The Swordfish Attack at Taranto".
It is signed by Commander Charles Bentall Lamb DSO DSC Royal Navy (1914–1981) was an officer in the Fleet Air Arm during World War II. He piloted a Fairey Swordfish torpedo strike reconnaissance aircraft at the Battle of Taranto, and later wrote a best selling book on his experiences called To War in a Stringbag.
So far I haven't been able to work out who the other sig is.
The second print, again by Robert Taylor titled "Hurricane".
It is signed by Wing Commander Roland Robert Stanford Tuck DSO, DFC & Two Bars, AFC (1 July 1916 – 5 May 1987) was a British fighter pilot and test pilot Tuck joined the Royal Air Force in 1935. Tuck first engaged in combat during the Battle of France over Dunkirk, claiming his first victories. In September 1940 he was promoted to squadron leader and commanded a Hawker Hurricane squadron. In 1941–1942, Tuck participated in fighter sweeps over northern France. On 28 January 1942, Tuck was hit by anti-aircraft fire and forced landed in France and was taken prisoner. At the time of his capture, Tuck had claimed 29 enemy aircraft destroyed, two shared destroyed, six probably destroyed, six damaged and one shared damaged.
Finally, the one that really made my jaw drop.
A Robert Taylor print titled "Spitfire".
Signed by James Edgar Johnson CB, CBE, DSO & two bars, DFC & Bar (9 March 1915 – 30 January 2001), nicknamed "Johnnie", was a Royal Air Force pilot and flying ace—defined as a pilot that has shot down five or more enemy aircraft in aerial combat—who flew and fought during the Second World War.
And Sir Douglas Bader. 
Probably one of the most famous pilots from the Second World War.
Brilliant research, Alex. I had a look yesterday and couldn't make a connection. I've emailed Aces High as they sell these prints and have signing days with pilots and crew from various conflicts. Looks like you've solved the mystery for me. Cheers.
