Awesome 6" x 4" signed promo photo of Donald Pleasence. Very hard signature to find, and here is an exceptionally rare signed photo.
Wonderful rare image of the star from the 1963 movie 'The Great Escape'. (RAF Flight Lieutenant Colin Blythe ). Also famous as the villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the James Bond film You Only Live Twice (1967).
He served as aircraft wireless-operator with No. 166 Squadron in Bomber Command, with which he flew almost sixty raids against the Axis over occupied Europe.
On 31 August 1944, Lancaster NE112, in which he was a crew member, was shot down during an attack upon Agenville,
and he was captured and imprisoned in the German prisoner-of-war camp Stalag Luft I.
Pleasence produced and acted in many plays for the entertainment of his fellow captives.
After the war and his release, he was discharged from the R.A.F. in 1946.
