1941 Aerodrome Arrival Arrive Arriving Davis Landed Liberator Promise Propeller Propellers Roosevelt Bomber
EDITORS COMMENTS
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's promise of support to Britain during World War II was fulfilled with the arrival of the American Liberator bomber in 1941. This photograph, taken by renowned photojournalist G.H. Davis, captures the moment of arrival as a Liberator bomber touches down at an English aerodrome. The Liberator, a versatile aircraft used for both bombing missions and transport, was a symbol of American aid during the war. Its large propellers and imposing presence on the ground served as a reminder of the powerful alliance between the United States and Britain. The men in the foreground, dressed in uniforms and wearing helmets, stand ready to receive the plane and its crew. This historical image, published by Illustrated London News, marks an important moment in the air war and the larger conflict, as America's entry into the war brought new resources and manpower to the Allied effort. The Liberator bomber's arrival was a significant turning point in the war, and this photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the moment.
