EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the North American Mitchell II "Nulli Secundus" of 180 Squadron, as it proudly displays its distinctive nose art at RAF Foulsham on 28 July 1943. The Mitchell II, a versatile medium bomber, played a crucial role in the Royal Air Force's (RAF) strategic bombing campaign during World War II. The Latin phrase "Nulli Secundus," meaning "second to none," proudly emblazoned on the nose of this aircraft, reflects the determination and unwavering commitment of the RAF's aircrews to deliver maximum damage to the enemy. The intricate nose art design, featuring a fierce-looking eagle with outstretched wings, adds a personal touch to the military machine, reflecting the individuality and morale of the squadron. The Mitchell II was a formidable weapon, capable of carrying a heavy bomb load and equipped with defensive armament to protect against enemy fighters. Its powerful engines allowed it to reach high altitudes, making it a formidable adversary in the skies. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the RAF's aircrews during World War II, who flew these aircraft on dangerous missions over enemy territory. The image was captured by renowned RAF photographer Charles E. Brown, who documented the RAF's efforts during the war. Brown's photograph not only captures the technical aspects of the Mitchell II but also the human element, showcasing the pride and determination of the men who flew these aircraft in defense of their country.
