EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, His Royal Highness Prince George, Duke of Kent, is seen proudly donning the insignia of a Group Captain in the Royal Air Force (RAF), with Group Captain Ellwood by his side on 27 May 1940. The Duke's promotion came at a pivotal moment in the history of the RAF, as the organization was actively engaged in the defense of the United Kingdom against the advancing German forces during World War II. Prince George's military career began in 1919 when he joined the Royal Flying Corps, the precursor to the RAF. He quickly distinguished himself as an accomplished aviator, earning the nickname "The Aviator Prince." Over the years, he amassed an impressive record of service, including commanding No. 24 Squadron during the Battle of Britain and serving as the Aide-de-Camp to King George V. As a Group Captain, Prince George played a crucial role in the RAF's operational command structure. His expertise in aeronautics and military strategy proved invaluable as the Allies worked to turn the tide of the war. The photograph captures a moment of pride and accomplishment for the Duke, as he stands tall and confident in his new rank, surrounded by the trappings of his military career. The image offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable figure, who dedicated his life to the pursuit of flight and the defense of his country. Prince George's legacy as a decorated military officer and a pioneering aviator continues to inspire generations of RAF personnel and aviation enthusiasts alike.
