EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from December 1943, the crews and pilots of RAF Wellington bombers and USAF Flying Fortresses are seen working together in close co-operation. As the American Forts return from their day operations, the British Wellies are already lined up, ready to carry out their missions during the night. This round-the-clock service ensures that enemy occupied targets in Northern Italy are constantly being blasted. The picture showcases a unique moment of camaraderie between American and British Empire pilots. American pilots can be seen sharing some baseball tips with their counterparts from Britain. From left to right, we have Flight Lieutenant Fieldhouse DFC of Brentwood, Essex; 1st Lieutenant Kesselburgh of Los Angeles, California; 1st Lieutenant Moore also from Los Angeles; Sergeant Haymna hailing from Lake Tekapo, New Zealand; Flying Officer Bint representing Perth, Western Australia; Captain Dean coming all the way from New London, Connecticut; Sergeant Muffit proudly representing Portage-La-Prairie in Manitoba, Canada; Flight Officer Huddlestone joining us from Fort Worth Texas; and lastly Lst Lieutenant Bowling representing Newhaven in Kentucky. This remarkable image captures not only the dedication and bravery of these men but also highlights the international collaboration that was crucial for victory during World War II. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by these individuals as they fought tirelessly against a common enemy.
