EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of brave and dedicated Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) pilots pose in front of their Avro Anson aircraft in May 1944. The ATA was a remarkable organization that played a crucial role in the British war effort during World War II. These women and men volunteered to fly military aircraft from factories to RAF bases, freeing up RAF pilots for combat duties. Standing proudly in the center is Commanding Officer, Cdre Gerald Derlanger, who oversaw the operations of this vital organization. To his left, we have Flt Capt Roy Harben, Flt Capt R. Vincent, Capt G. Head, and Capt F. White. Each of these pilots played a vital role in the ATA's mission to keep the RAF's aircraft fleet in the air. The Avro Anson, a versatile and reliable aircraft, was a common sight at ATA bases during the war. It was used for both training and transport duties, making it an essential asset for the organization. The pilots in this photograph embody the spirit of determination and courage that defined the ATA during the war years. The Avro Anson was a vital component of the ATA's fleet, and its presence in this photograph serves as a reminder of the critical role these pilots played in supporting the RAF and the British war effort. The photograph captures a moment in time when these brave men and women stood together, united in their commitment to the cause. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during World War II and the essential role that the Air Transport Auxiliary played in the war effort.
