WWII KIA Cover. VF condition 1942 "RETURN TO SENDER" killed in action cover, completely covered with manuscript, handstamped and affixed instructional markings. The Canadian airman was with the No. 415 Squadron, formed at Thorney Island on 21 August 1941 as a torpedo-bomber squadron, armed with Hampdens. It flew from a number of different bases, attacking enemy convoys and shipyards. This cover is as evocative a KIA cover as we have ever handled. The lot includes a photo of the airman's gravesite ("buried at sea"). Estimate
