EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and courage of Remy van Lierde, a Belgian Air Force pilot who escaped to England in May 1940 as the Nazi forces invaded his country. With the fall of Belgium imminent, van Lierde joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) and quickly proved himself to be an exceptional pilot. As the war progressed, van Lierde distinguished himself in the skies above England, notably in the destruction of V1 rockets, a new and terrifying weapon of the German military. Flying the agile and powerful Hawker Tempest, van Lierde is believed to have shot down an impressive 38 V1 rockets during his service with the RAF. The photograph shows van Lierde in the cockpit of his Tempest, focused intently on the task at hand. The image captures the intensity and concentration required to fly these high-performance aircraft and engage the enemy in combat. The backdrop of the English countryside adds to the sense of history and the importance of the moment. Van Lierde's story is one of bravery and resilience in the face of adversity. His successes in the RAF not only helped protect the people of England from the threat of the V1 rockets but also served as a symbol of hope and defiance in the darkest days of the war. This photograph is a testament to the heroism and skill of the Allied forces during World War II and the crucial role that individual pilots played in the outcome of the conflict.
