EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration captures a moment of respite for Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) painters and dopers during their eight-month tenure at a Royal Flying Corps airfield in the aftermath of World War I. The women, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, gather around a hot stove for a much-needed tea break. Amidst the steam and warmth, one woman toasts a slice of bread at the open door, a small luxury that helped counteract the harmful fumes from the paint they worked with daily. The WRAF played a crucial role in the success of the British air effort during WWI, with over 15,000 women serving in various roles, including painting and doping aircraft. Long hours spent in poorly ventilated hangars exposed them to dangerous chemicals, which could lead to lasting damage to their health. This special tea break was a small but significant measure taken to mitigate the risks and improve their working conditions. The image, titled "Eight Months with the WRAF," offers a poignant glimpse into the daily lives of these brave women, who contributed significantly to the war effort despite facing numerous challenges. Their dedication and resilience continue to inspire us today, as we remember their sacrifices and the pivotal role they played in shaping the history of the Women's Royal Air Force.
