EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration transports us back in time to the early days of the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) during the aftermath of the First World War. The image, dated between 1919 and 1920, depicts a determined woman in an aircraft hangar, engrossed in the meticulous task of signwriting the flights on the fuselage of a biplane. The WRAF, established in March 1918, played a crucial role in the British military during World War I, providing essential support services to the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force. As the war came to an end, the WRAF continued to expand, with women serving in various roles, including ground crew, cooks, clerks, and mechanics. The woman in this illustration is likely one of the many WRAF members who contributed to the maintenance and upkeep of the aircraft fleet. Her focused expression and the precision with which she wields her brush speak to the dedication and expertise of these women. The biplane in the background, adorned with the distinctive RAF roundel and various flight insignia, serves as a reminder of the vital role the RAF played in the war effort. The combination of the woman's strength and determination, the industrial backdrop of the hangar, and the iconic biplane create a powerful and evocative image that brings to life the history of the Women's Royal Air Force during this pivotal period in aviation history.
