"Offered is a hand-signed 3x5 index card by Captain John Neville, pilot of the B-29 Superfortress “The Lucky Irish”, signed in permanent ink. The autograph has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA, ensuring both authenticity and lasting preservation.
John Neville served as the commanding pilot of “The Lucky Irish,” a B-29 Superfortress that flew long-range bombing missions against Japan in the final stages of World War II. Operating from forward bases in the Pacific, Neville and his crew endured the grueling conditions of extended missions over heavily defended targets, contributing to the strategic bombing campaign that played a decisive role in bringing about the end of the war.
The B-29, one of the most advanced aircraft of its time, represented the pinnacle of American wartime aviation technology with its pressurized cabin, remote-controlled gun turrets, and extraordinary range. Pilots like Neville carried the immense responsibility of guiding these crews and aircraft through some of the most dangerous missions of the conflict.
This signed index card, authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA, offers collectors a rare connection to a B-29 combat veteran whose service aboard “The Lucky Irish” reflects both the courage of the crewmen and the historical significance of the Superfortress in securing Allied victory in the Pacific.
