The signature of Captain Hook Wynn Foster (deceased)

Captain Hook Wynn Foster (deceased)
*Signature Value : £45 (matted)

On 23 July 1966 Wynn Foster was flying his 163rd combat mission of the Vietnam War when anti-aircraft artillery hit his A-4 Skyhawk. 39 year old Commander Wynn Franklin Foster USN ejected from his Douglas A-4E Skyhawk single seat attack aircraft. The aircraft, AH/30, 'Old Salt One', belonging to VA-163 / Air Wing 16 from the carrier USS Oriskany (CVA-34) was flying an Alpha Strike mission through a clear sky with scattered cumulus over the Gulf of Tonkin when it was struck by Vietnamese AAA. The enemy fire severed his right arm at the elbow. Bleeding profusely, his still-gloved hand lying on the starboard console, Foster flew his plane out over the Tonkin Gulf and ejected. Foster's aggressive response to his life-altering injury threw him into conflict with his care providers and officers and bureaucrats in the Navy's hierarchy. Confident that he could continue to be of service to the Navy, he embarked on a long legal battle to remain on active duty, finally winning the right to complete his naval career. Promoted to captain and awarded the call sign 'Captain Hook', he made two subsequent deployments to the Western Pacific. Captain Wynn Foster was willing to test society's preconceptions about the handicapped, and his case was ultimately successful because he was willing to test his own limits. He died on 9th June 2013.


The signature of Vice Admiral James Stockdale (deceased)

Vice Admiral James Stockdale (deceased)
*Signature Value : £45 (matted)

Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale was born on the 23rd of December 1923 in Abingdon, Illinois and, in 1946 following a brief period at Monmouth College, attended the US Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland from which he graduated with the class of 1947. During the Vietnam war Stockdale led aerial attacks from the carrier USS Ticonderoga (CV-14)) during the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident. While Commander of Carrier Air Wing 16 aboard the carrier USS Oriskany (CV-13), on September 1965, Stockdale ejected over enemy territory from his A-4E Skyhawk, which had been disabled from friendly fire after the mechanical malfunction of his wing-mans ordanance. Stockdale ejected and parachuted into a small village, where he was severely beaten and taken into custody. James Stockdale was the highest-ranking naval officer held as a POW in Vietnam. He was awarded 26 personal combat decorations, including the Medal of Honor and four Silver Stars. From October 13th, 1977, until August 22nd, 1979, Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale became the President of the Naval War College. Stockdale also became a candidate for Vice President of the United States duirng the 1992 presedenial elections – Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale succumbed to Alzheimers desease and died on the 5th of July, 2005. In January 2006, the Navy announced that the USS Stockdale DDG-106, an Arleigh Burke–class guided missile destroyer, would be named for him.
