EDITORS COMMENTS
The commanding voice of a male officer echoes through the room, as the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) recruits come to rigid attention. In this evocative illustration from the aftermath of the First World War, the women, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, stand at attention, their eyes fixed on their superior. The officer, with stern authority, raises his hand to give the order, his gaze unwavering. The Women's Royal Air Force was established in March 1918, during the final months of the First World War, to release men for active combat duties. Over 25,000 women served in the WRAF during the war, performing a variety of roles from cooks and clerks to mechanics and drivers. This illustration, depicting a moment from the early days of the WRAF, captures the sense of discipline and order that was an integral part of military life. The Women's Royal Air Force played an important role in the history of the Royal Air Force and women's history more broadly. Their service during the First World War paved the way for the continued integration of women into the military in the decades that followed. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and contributions made by the women of the WRAF during a pivotal moment in history. Date: 1919-1920.
