EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of RAF Hurricane fighter pilots, known as "the Few" who bravely fought in the Battle of Britain during World War II in 1940. The image showcases the courage and determination of these British heroes as they prepare for aerial combat. The pilots are seen wearing their lifejackets, ready to take flight in their Hawker Hurricanes. Despite the gravity of their mission, there is a sense of camaraderie among them, evident from their laughter and smiles captured by the English photographer. This historic photograph is an illustration from "The Second Great War: A Standard History" published by The Waverley Book Company Ltd in association with The Amalgamated Press Ltd in London around 1946. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men during one of history's most significant conflicts. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when Europe was engulfed in warfare. This image encapsulates not only the heroism displayed by these pilots but also represents an important chapter in British history. With its powerful symbolism and historical significance, this print stands as a testament to the resilience and bravery exhibited by those who fought for freedom during World War II.
