EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intensity and excitement of the set during the filming of "The Battle-Of-Britain," a classic war film produced in 1968. In the foreground, we see American pilot John Jeff Hawke (pictured) signaling to his crew member Duane Egli, who is off-camera, to start the engines of the North American B-25J Mitchell bomber. The aircraft, identified by its registration number N6578D, was modified for aerial photography and was operated by Euramericair, an association between Eurameric and Visionair International. The B-25 Mitchell, a iconic World War II-era aircraft, is depicted here with its distinctive nose art adorning the fuselage. The exterior of the plane is a testament to the rich history of military aviation, with its weathered surface and intricate details. The image captures the moment of anticipation before takeoff, as the crew prepares for another day of filming. The photograph was taken in the United Kingdom, likely in England, and the overcast sky adds to the mood of the scene. The image is a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes action of a major film production, and serves as a reminder of the important role that vintage warbirds continue to play in preserving the history of military aviation.
