EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "An Aerodrome in 1918" and created by Sir John Lavery in 1944, takes us back to the era of the First World War. The image showcases a bustling airfield with British biplanes soaring through the sky. The painting is part of Nigel Tangye's book "Britain In The Air" published by Collins in London. Transportation and flight were crucial elements during this period, as depicted by the vibrant colors and meticulous details captured in Lavery's oil painting. This artwork not only represents an important chapter in England's history but also pays homage to the Royal Air Force and armed forces who played a pivotal role during wartime. The landscape portrays an atmosphere filled with both anticipation and tension, reflecting the concept of warfare prevalent at that time. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported to a different decade - the forties - where air transport was rapidly evolving alongside advancements in technology. Through this historical lens, we gain insight into social history and witness how aviation shaped Britain's identity during one of its most challenging periods. Sir John Lavery skillfully captures these elements within his work while Nigel Tangye provides context through his book "Britain In The Air". This remarkable print serves as a reminder of our past achievements and sacrifices made for freedom while honoring those who served their country bravely amidst turbulent times.
