EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Free French Airforce in Africa during World War II. Circa 1943, the image showcases a lineup of various aircraft, emblazoned with the distinctive insignia of the Free French Air Force - the Lorraine Cross. The Allied forces, led by General Charles de Gaulle, played a pivotal role in the North African campaign against the Axis powers. The Free French Airforce, also known as the Forces Aériennes Françaises Libres (FAFL), was formed in 1940 as an alternative to the Vichy French Airforce, which had collaborated with the Nazis. The FAFL operated primarily from bases in North Africa, where they flew a diverse range of aircraft, including the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, the Supermarine Spitfire, and the North American B-25 Mitchell. The Lorraine Cross, a symbol of the historic Duchy of Lorraine, was adopted as the insignia of the Free French Airforce. It represented the unity and resilience of the French people, who refused to surrender to the German occupation. The cross was also a reminder of the rich history and heritage of France, which the Allied forces were fighting to preserve. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the Free French Airforce during World War II. It is a testament to their unwavering commitment to the cause of freedom and their determination to restore honor and dignity to the French people.
