EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures a historic moment at an airfield near Munich in August 1945. The image shows hundreds of Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bombers parked on the runway, ready for a fly-past to mark the 38th anniversary of the United States Air Force on 1st August that year.
The war in Europe had just come to an end, and these powerful aircraft were now being used for a different purpose - to celebrate and honor the brave men and women who served in the Air Force during World War II. The sight of so many Flying Fortresses lined up on the airfield is truly awe-inspiring, serving as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom.
As we look back on this important moment in history, we are reminded of the courage and determination displayed by all those involved in the war effort. This photograph is not just a snapshot from the past; it is a symbol of resilience, strength, and unity. It serves as a tribute to all those who served their country with pride and dedication.
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online allows us to glimpse into this significant event from over seven decades ago, capturing a piece of history that will forever be remembered.
