EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous chapter in history as an airborne assault glider is being towed by an aircraft, ready to embark on a perilous journey from Bognor Regis to France. The date is 6th June 1944, and this brave mission marks the iconic D-Day invasion of Normandy during World War Two. Photographed by the talented Frank L Alouette, this image showcases the sheer determination and courage exhibited by military forces during wartime. As the glider soars through the sky, it symbolizes both hope and trepidation for what lies ahead. The vast expanse of clouds serves as a backdrop, emphasizing the magnitude of this pivotal moment. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's archives, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history's defining moments. It reminds us of those who risked their lives for freedom and peace during one of humanity's darkest hours. Through its lens, we witness not only the physicality but also the emotional weight carried by these soldiers as they prepared to face unknown challenges. Let this image serve as a reminder that heroes come in many forms – whether soaring through skies or fighting on land – all united with a common purpose: to protect and defend against tyranny. May we never forget their sacrifice nor underestimate our duty to honor their memory.
