EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brave members of 73 Squadron during the tumultuous years of 1939-1940. The image, taken in 1941 by an unknown creator, showcases four individuals standing side by side in their military uniforms. From left to right, we see a Sergeant Pilot, Ginger P-----, Fanny O-----, and Cobber. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these courageous men and women who served in the Royal Air Force during World War II. Their determined expressions reflect their unwavering commitment to defending their country against enemy forces. Among them stands Edgar James Kain, affectionately known as "Cobber" whose name has become synonymous with bravery and heroism. Alongside him are Lionel Sanderson Pilkington and Fanny Orton - all united in their dedication to protect Britain from aerial threats. The monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to this historical moment frozen in time. It serves as a metaphor for the challenges faced by these pilots as they soared through the skies above war-torn France. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we are reminded of the countless stories that lie behind each face captured within its frame. This print not only commemorates those who fought valiantly but also pays tribute to all New Zealanders who bravely served their nation during one of history's darkest chapters - World War II.
