Stanford Tuck Autographs
Wing Commander Robert Roland Stanford Tuck, DSO, DFC & Two Bars, AFC (1 July 1916 – 5 May 1987) was a British fighter pilot, flying ace and test pilot. Tuck joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1935 and first engaged in combat during the Battle of France, over Dunkirk, claiming his first victories. In September 1940 he was promoted to squadron leader and appointed commander of No. 257 Squadron. In 1941–1942, Tuck participated in fighter sweeps over northern France. On 28 January 1942, he was hit by anti-aircraft fire, was forced to land in France, and was taken prisoner. At the time of his capture, Tuck had claimed 29 enemy aircraft destroyed, two shared destroyed, six probably destroyed, six damaged and one shared damaged.
Robert Stanford Tuck was born on 1 July 1916 in Catford, southeast London. He was educated at St Dunstan's College and once he finished his schooling in 1932, joined the Merchant Navy as a sea cadet. He was a seaman on the SS Marconi, making a return voyage to South Africa in 1933. He later worked for a window joinery company before joining the RAF on a short service commission as an acting pilot officer in September 1935.
After completing his training at No. 3 Flying Training school at Grantham, Tuck joined No. 65 Squadron in August 1936 as an acting pilot officer on probation. The squadron was based at Hornchurch and was in the process of being equipped with the Gloster Gauntlet bi-plane fighter so much time was spent to become operational on this new type of aircraft. Tuck's pilot officer rank was confirmed in February 1937 with effect from the previous December. Then in May, No. 65 Squadron began to convert to the Gloster Gladiator biplanes. On 17 January 1938, practising formation flying in a Gladiator over the town of Uckfield in East Sussex, Tuck was involved in a fatal mid-air collision with another pilot. He himself escaped by parachute, with injuries to his face for which he was hospitalised. He was involved in another mid-air collision in April, but this time both pilots were uninjured. In September he was promoted to flying officer.
