Pearl Harbour postmark

Signed by Philip Rasmussen USAF who was one of the few pilots who managed to get airborne during the Pearl Harbour attack flying a Curtiss P-36a Hawk. He shot down a Japanese Zero. He was attacked himself and seriously damaged, but managed to land with no brakes, rudder and tailfin. Accounts vary, but most agree that there were about 500 bullet holes in his plane.

Original smudge at the end of the signature. Hence the price
