EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) uniform as it was worn during the early years of World War II. The woman in the image dons an officer's uniform made of blue barathea cloth, a traditional fabric used for uniforms during this era. The WAAF was established in March 1939, and by September 1939, it had grown to over 10,000 members. The practical and stylish uniforms were designed to enable women to carry out their duties effectively while maintaining a sense of professionalism and identity. The WAAF played a crucial role in the war effort, providing essential support to the Royal Air Force (RAF) in various roles, including administration, communication, and meteorology. The uniforms were designed to be both functional and feminine, allowing women to serve their country with pride and dignity. This photograph is a testament to the important contribution of the WAAF during the war years. It showcases the high-quality uniforms provided by Moss Bros, a leading retailer of men's and women's clothing during this period. The uniforms were an essential part of the WAAF's identity, and Moss Bros played a crucial role in ensuring that the women who served in the WAAF looked and felt their best while carrying out their duties. The image also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and contributions made by the women who served in the WAAF and other women's auxiliary services during World War II. The uniforms may have been practical, but they also represented a sense of unity, purpose, and determination in the face of adversity.
