EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, an Armstrong Whitworth Whitley VII bomber of 612 Squadron takes off from the rugged landscape of Iceland. The Whitley VII, a versatile aircraft used primarily for transport and reconnaissance missions during World War II, is seen taxying along the icy runway before lifting off into the misty sky. The image bears the telltale signs of wartime censorship, with large sections of the plane's wing and fuselage obscured by heavy black paint. The reason for this modification was to hide the presence of Airborne Surface Search (ASV) aerials, which were crucial for locating enemy ships at night but could also reveal the plane's mission to potential enemies. The Whitley VII, with its distinctive curved wings and twin engines, was a formidable aircraft in its day. It was produced by the Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Company in the United Kingdom and served with distinction in various theatres of war, including the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and the Far East. This photograph, taken in Iceland, likely dates from the period when the island was used as a base by Allied forces during the war. The harsh, unforgiving terrain of Iceland presented unique challenges for both pilots and aircraft, making each takeoff and landing a feat of skill and determination. Despite the censorship, the image captures the raw power and determination of the men and machines that fought in the skies during World War II. The Whitley VII, with its wings spread wide and engines roaring, embodies the spirit of innovation, courage, and resilience that defined the era.
