Capturing the Essence of a Historic Moment - The 1st Meeting of Civil Air Guard Commissioners
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1939, just days before the outbreak of World War II. Aerial House in Kingsway serves as the backdrop for an important gathering - the inaugural meeting of newly appointed commissioners of the Civil Air Guard. With their impeccable suits and timeless fashion choices, these three individuals stand tall, ready to embark on a crucial mission. From left to right, we see Capt H. H. Balfour exuding confidence and determination. His presence commands attention as he prepares to take on his role within this esteemed group. Mr R. Murrey from Scotland stands beside him, representing his nation with pride and resolve. And then there is Mrs F. G. Miles; her inclusion among these commissioners speaks volumes about her trailblazing spirit during a time when women were often overlooked in such positions. Alfieri's masterful monochrome technique adds depth and texture to this photograph, allowing us to appreciate every detail captured by his lens. This image not only documents a significant historical event but also offers us a glimpse into European society during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of Europeana photography from the thirties, let us reflect on those who served diligently in times of uncertainty and upheaval – their commitment paving the way for future generations in aviation history.
