EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken in 1942 during World War II, His Majesties, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, along with Princess Elizabeth, make a visit to a United States Army Air Forces (USAF) station. The royal family is accompanied by General Doolittle, the renowned leader of the Doolittle Raid, the first bombing raid against Japan following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The occasion of the visit was particularly significant as Princess Elizabeth had recently christened a B-24 Liberator bomber named "Rose of York" at the nearby Consolidated Aircraft Corporation factory. The B-24 Liberator, a formidable long-range bomber, was a vital asset to the Allied forces during the war. The royal family's visit to the USAF base was a testament to the strong alliance between the United States and the United Kingdom during World War II. The photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and shared purpose between the British monarchs and the American military personnel. The B-24 Liberator bomber, "Rose of York," can be seen in the background of the photograph, ready for its duties in the war effort. The visit by Their Majesties and Princess Elizabeth to the USAF station was a morale-boosting event for the American troops, who were deeply appreciative of the support from their British allies. This photograph is an important historical record of the close relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom during World War II and offers a unique glimpse into the wartime duties of the British royal family.
