EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Free French Lorraine Squadron's Blenheim Mk. IV bombers stationed in Libya during World War II. The image, dated circa 1943, depicts several of these iconic aircraft lined up on the tarmac, their distinctive crosses and French insignia proudly displayed. The Lorraine Squadron, part of the Royal Air Force (RAF) No. 342 Squadron, was formed in 1940 by French aviators who had escaped from France after the fall of Paris. The squadron played a crucial role in the North African campaign, conducting bombing raids against Axis forces and supply lines. Each Blenheim Mk. IV in the photograph is armed with machine guns and a rear turret, ready for combat. The Libyan desert backdrop adds to the sense of isolation and determination, as these brave pilots prepared to take on the challenges of the war. The Free French Lorraine Squadron's legacy continues to be celebrated as an important chapter in both French and Allied military history.
