EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image from The Sphere magazine captures a pivotal moment in the history of World War II as King George VI examines reconnaissance photographs of the Ruhr Valley dams with Wing-Commander Guy Gibson at a Lancaster station in the North of England in May 1943. The successful Dambusters raid, led by Gibson and his 617 Squadron, had taken place just a few days prior, marking a significant victory for the Allied forces. The King's close interest in the photographs underscores the importance of the intelligence gathered during the mission, which played a crucial role in the planning and execution of this daring operation. Gibson, who was later awarded the Victoria Cross for his leadership, stands proudly by the monarch's side, a testament to the bravery and determination of the RAF personnel involved in the raid. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the wartime spirit and the indomitable resolve of the Allied forces during the darkest days of World War II.
