Anti aircraft gun and army unit in the Hull area of England during World War Two
Anti aircraft gun and army unit in the Hull area of England during World War Two.
Anti-aircraft warfare or counter-air defence is defined by NATO as " all measures designed to nullify or reduce the effectiveness of hostile air action". They include surface based, subsurface (submarine launched), and air-based weapon systems, associated sensor systems, command and control arrangements and passive measures (e.g. barrage balloons). It may be used to protect naval, ground, and air forces in any location. However, for most countries the main effort has tended to be homeland defence.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the intense days of World War Two in England. The image showcases an anti-aircraft gun and a determined army unit stationed in the Hull area, ready to defend against hostile air action. As defined by NATO, anti-aircraft warfare encompasses various measures aimed at nullifying or reducing the effectiveness of enemy aerial attacks. The soldiers depicted here exemplify the unwavering commitment and bravery displayed by countless men and women on the home front during this global conflict. Their presence serves as a reminder that defense efforts were not limited to just naval, ground, or air forces but extended across all locations. Dating back to circa August 1940, this picture captures a crucial moment in history when Britain faced relentless bombing campaigns from Nazi Germany during the Battle of Britain. The paint marks visible on this print bear witness to its authenticity and add an extra layer of historical significance. As we delve into this snapshot from Yorkshire's past, it is impossible not to appreciate both the gravity of war and the resilience exhibited by those who fought for their country's freedom.
