EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration offers a glimpse into the crucial role women played in the Womens Royal Air Force (WRAF) during the latter stages of the First World War. Dated between 1919 and 1920, the image showcases a dedicated team of WRAF sailmakers at work in their workshop. Their primary task was to create sails for the wings of aircraft, a vital contribution to the ongoing aviation efforts during this period. The Women's Royal Air Force was established in March 1918, providing an opportunity for women to serve their country in various non-combat roles. With the demand for aircraft increasing rapidly, the need for skilled labor in the aviation industry became more pressing than ever. Women, many of whom had no prior experience in sailmaking, were trained and deployed to produce sails for the wings of various aircraft models. The women in this illustration can be seen intently focused on their tasks, carefully cutting, stitching, and assembling sailcloth. Their determination and dedication are evident in their postures and expressions, reflecting the spirit of the WRAF during this time. The workshop setting is filled with the necessary tools and materials for sailmaking, further emphasizing the industrious nature of these women's work. This historical image not only highlights the important role of women in the WRAF during the First World War but also serves as a testament to their adaptability, resilience, and resourcefulness. The women's contributions to the aviation industry during this time played a significant role in shaping the future of military aviation and paved the way for women's continued involvement in various sectors of the workforce.
