EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, captured by renowned war artist G.H. Davis for the Illustrated London News in January 1940, depicts a pivotal moment in the skies above the North Sea during the early stages of World War II. The scene is set between British Bristol Blenheim bombers and German Messerschmitt 110 destroyer planes, engaged in fierce combat. The Messerschmitts, with their distinctive silhouettes and menacing shell guns, are shown in a coordinated attack maneuver, attempting to disrupt the Blenheim formation. One unfortunate Blenheim, its engine smoking, is seen being driven out of formation, leaving its crew vulnerable to further attack. Meanwhile, the wreckage of a Messerschmitt, having met an untimely end in the icy waters below, serves as a grim reminder of the brutal realities of aerial warfare. The British Royal Air Force (RAF) and the German Luftwaffe clashed frequently over the North Sea during this period, with both sides suffering heavy losses. This double-page spread from the Illustrated London News offers a compelling snapshot of the intense and often deadly air battles that characterized the early days of the Second World War.
