EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Air Vice Marshal Sir Arthur Mary Coningham (1895-1948) and his wife, Lady Coningham, amidst the backdrop of a bustling RAF airfield in 1944. Sir Arthur, a distinguished military figure, served as the Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief of both the 2nd Tactical Air Force and later Flying Training Command within the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II. Sir Arthur's impressive military career began in 1914 when he joined the RAF as a pilot. Over the years, he earned an impressive array of decorations for his valor and leadership, including the Distinguished Service Order (DSO), Military Cross (MC), Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC), and Air Force Cross (AFC). In 1942, he was knighted with a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) and a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE). In this image, Sir Arthur, clad in his uniform, stands confidently with his wife, Lady Coningham, as they oversee the operation of transport planes at the airfield. The planes, with their engines idling, are a testament to the vital role the RAF played in the war effort. The couple's strong bond and unwavering dedication to their duty shine through in this evocative photograph, which offers a glimpse into the wartime experiences of the RAF's most esteemed leaders.
