EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for American airforce personnel during the tumultuous year of 1942, in the midst of the momentous events of World War II. The scene unfolds in Great Britain, where the US Airforce had established a strong presence to support the Allied war effort. In the foreground, a group of weary airmen gather around a Red Cross Clubmobile, savoring the simple pleasures of coffee and doughnuts. The Clubmobile, a mobile canteen and recreational facility provided by the American Red Cross, offered a much-needed break from the rigors of military life. In the background, the distinctive nose of a Boeing B17E Flying Fortress Bomber, with the serial number 41-9020, is visible. This aircraft, affectionately known as Phyllis, had been initially stationed at RAF Polebrook before joining the 92nd Brigade at Bovingdon. The sight of the Flying Fortress serves as a poignant reminder of the perils and sacrifices faced by these brave men and women during the war. The Red Cross Clubmobile, a vital morale-boosting resource for the US military personnel, provided a sense of comfort and familiarity amidst the unfamiliar surroundings of a foreign land. This photograph, taken in 1942, is a poignant snapshot of camaraderie, resilience, and the human spirit that endured during the darkest days of the Second World War.
