EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, RAF fighter ace, Douglas Bader (1910-1982), is seen sharing a moment of joy and adventure with his wife at Lungi Airport in Sierra Leone, West Africa, during the late 1950s. The image captures the essence of a carefree outing as the couple stands beside a light aircraft, their smiles reflecting the excitement of the upcoming flight. Douglas Bader, a decorated war hero and aviation legend, gained notoriety for his remarkable achievements in the Royal Air Force during World War II. Having lost both legs below the knee in a flying accident before the war, Bader defied the odds and continued to fly combat missions, becoming one of the most successful fighter pilots in British history. In this photograph, Bader's spirit of determination and love for aviation are evident as he and his wife prepare for their journey. The small, propeller-driven aircraft, with its wings gleaming in the African sun, symbolizes the freedom and thrill of flight that Bader had long embraced. The handbag of Bader's wife, perched on the wing of the plane, adds a touch of elegance and practicality to the scene. Lungi Airport, now known as Lungi International Airport, serves as a significant historical landmark in Sierra Leone's aviation history. The image of Douglas Bader and his wife at this African aerodrome offers a glimpse into a bygone era of travel, when the spirit of adventure and the allure of flight were at the forefront of exploration and discovery. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the indomitable human spirit and the enduring power of love and passion.
