EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tense moments before Interceptor pilots embark on their missions during the early days of World War II. Dated September 1939, just a few weeks after the outbreak of war, these brave men are seen sitting on their parachutes, fully clad in their uniforms, ready for action. The pilots' attire includes earphones and goggles, essential equipment for navigating the skies and communicating with their squadron. The presence of their parachutes underscores the inherent danger of their profession. As Interceptor pilots, their primary role was to defend against enemy planes as they approached. The image exudes a sense of anticipation and determination, as these men await the order to fly and take to the skies in their Interceptor aircraft. This powerful photograph offers a poignant reminder of the courage and sacrifice displayed by the pilots of the Second World War.
