EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative menu cover from May 1, 1943, invites us to step back in time to a significant moment during World War Two. The dinner, hosted at Deals Hotel in East London, South Africa, was a special occasion for 48 Air School, one of the Joint Air Training Scheme facilities that played a pivotal role in preparing Royal Air Force (RAF) and Allied air crews for combat. During the early years of the war, South Africa served as an essential training ground for the RAF, with 48 Air School being one of its most productive facilities. This second dinner, held on this particular date, was an opportunity for the school community to come together and celebrate their shared achievements. The menu card's elegant design, adorned with the Royal Air Force roundel and the South African flag, reflects the international nature of the training effort. The event's formal setting, with its promise of a three-course meal, adds a touch of sophistication to the proceedings. As we examine the menu, we can't help but be reminded of the historical significance of this moment. The world was in the midst of a global conflict that would change the course of history. Yet, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, the RAF and its allies continued to train their forces, ensuring that they were prepared to face the challenges ahead. This menu cover is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who served during World War Two. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who dedicated their time and energy to the war effort. As we admire the intricate design and the carefully planned menu, we are transported back to a time when the future was uncertain, but the spirit of camaraderie and unity remained strong.
