EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, two renowned aviators, Lt Gen James Doolittle and Grp Capt Douglas Bader, are seen making their arrival in Madrid, Spain. The image captures the moment of their meeting with the Air Attaché of the British Embassy and the Colonel-in-Charge of the Barajas Airport. Lt Gen James H. Doolittle, a United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) general, is best known for leading the Doolittle Raid, the first bombing mission against Japan during World War II. He stands confidently in his uniform, wearing his distinctive aviator sunglasses. Grp Capt Douglas Bader, a British Royal Air Force (RAF) officer, is recognized for his extraordinary achievements as a fighter pilot despite losing both legs in a flying accident before the war. He is seen wearing his RAF uniform and a monocle. The photograph was taken at Barajas Airport in Madrid, which was a significant military and civilian airfield during the war. The Air Attaché and the Colonel-in-Charge welcome the two aviators, who were likely in Spain for military discussions or training. In the background, several aircraft, including transport planes and military bombers, can be seen parked on the tarmac. The presence of these planes underscores the importance of air travel during wartime and the crucial role that Spain played as a neutral country in facilitating military movements. This photograph is a testament to the camaraderie and cooperation between Allied forces during World War II, as well as the critical role that air power played in the conflict. It also highlights the bravery and determination of Lt Gen James Doolittle and Grp Capt Douglas Bader, two of the most legendary figures in the history of military aviation.
