This poignant photograph serves as a powerful tribute to him and countless other courageous individuals who sacrificed their lives in service to their country. The de Havilland Mosquito plane featured in this image symbolizes not only technological advancements in aviation but also represents Britain's resilience during one of its darkest periods.

Preserved within the pages of "Merchant Airmen - The Air Ministry Account of British Civil Aviation, 1939-1944" this historic photograph offers us a glimpse into a pivotal era when pilots like Captain Gilbert Rae were at the forefront of defending freedom against tyranny.
