Fine Art Prints From Memory Lane
Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory, KCB, DSO
Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory,
KCB, DSO, Commander-in-Chef Allied Expeditionary Air Force, paid a visit to France, where he conferred with General Montgomery and visited RAF men operating from French soil.
During his visit the Air Chief Marshal met three Spitfire pilots who had been forced down in the Caen area when their aircraft were hit by flak. The pilots had found their way to the air strip the Air Commander-in-Chef was using, and on hearing that they were anxious to return to
England immediately, he offered them a lift back
in his own aircraft.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory, KCB, DSO, Commander-in-Chef Allied Expeditionary Air Force, pays a visit to France during World War II. In this historic photograph captured in June 1944, we see the esteemed Air Chief Marshal meeting three courageous Spitfire pilots who had been forced down in the Caen area due to enemy flak. During his visit to France, Leigh-Mallory conferred with General Montgomery and visited RAF men operating from French soil. However, it was his encounter with these brave pilots that truly exemplified his dedication and compassion for those under his command. Upon learning that the stranded pilots were anxious to return immediately to England, Leigh-Mallory generously offered them a lift back in his own aircraft. The picture showcases Flight Sergeant T. P. Fargher of the Isle of Man on the left, Flight Officer W. H. Painter of Southgate, London in the middle, and Flight Lieutenant W. L. Johnston of Newcastle on the right – all readying themselves for their journey home. This snapshot not only captures an extraordinary act of camaraderie but also symbolizes the unwavering spirit and resilience displayed by both aircrew members and commanders alike during one of history's most challenging conflicts – World War II.
