EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the intense focus and determination of Squadron Leader Peter Moon, portrayed by the talented British actor Michael Denison, during a German raid on an English airfield in the 1953 film "Angels One Five." As the B Flight Commander of the Pimpernel Squadron in RAF Fighter Command, Moon's unwavering courage and commitment to defending his country during the Battle of Britain in 1940 are brought to life on the silver screen. Directed by George Moore O'Ferrall, "Angels One Five" was an Associated British-Templar Production that paid tribute to the brave men and women of the Royal Air Force who played a pivotal role in the defense of the United Kingdom during World War II. In this scene, Moon is seen sitting in the cockpit of his aeroplane, with the radio still on as the airfield comes under attack. The expression on his face reveals a deep concentration, as he listens intently for any signs of enemy activity or instructions from his commanders. The photograph captures the raw emotion and tension of the moment, as well as the aeronautical technology of the era. The plane's cockpit, with its array of dials and switches, is a testament to the advanced engineering and innovation that made the RAF's fighter planes such formidable weapons against the German air force. This powerful image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the RAF during the Battle of Britain, and the crucial role they played in turning the tide of the war in favor of the Allies. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of their courage and determination, and a reminder of the important history that continues to inspire and inform us today.
