EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the era between the wars. The image showcases three De Havilland DH60X Moths, namely G-aPW, G-aRA, and G-AFPY, as they engage in a thrilling dummy air raid over Dartford, Kent in 1939. The monochrome composition adds an element of nostalgia to the scene while highlighting the intensity of the moment. Against a darkened sky, these vintage aircrafts soar through the air with purposeful determination. This aerial view captures their synchronized movements during a drill or exercise designed for preparation. As flames flicker below them on the ground, it becomes evident that this is no ordinary demonstration. The fiery display emphasizes both danger and courage exhibited by those involved in such training exercises during uncertain times. John Topham's expert photography immortalizes this historic event with precision and artistry. Through his lens, we witness a snapshot of Europeana's past – an era marked by tension and anticipation. This remarkable photograph serves as a reminder of our collective history and pays tribute to those who bravely faced adversity during wartime periods. It stands as a testament to human resilience and highlights how even amidst darkness, light can be found through dedication and unity.
