EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the eerie stillness of Podlington Airfield in Britain, circa 1945. The drawing depicts the vast and deserted runway that was once a bustling base for the US Eighth Air Force during their raids on Germany in World War II. As the war came to an end in Europe, many airfields like Podlington became redundant, serving as haunting reminders of a tumultuous chapter in history.
The sheer size of the runway is striking, stretching out into the distance with no signs of life or activity. The historical significance of this airfield is palpable, as it played a crucial role in some of the most important military operations of its time. The drawing beautifully captures both the grandeur and desolation of this abandoned site.
Looking at this image, one can't help but feel a sense of awe and reverence for the brave individuals who once walked these grounds and took to the skies from this very spot. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and how quickly places can become obsolete once peace is restored. This print is not just a snapshot in time; it's a powerful testament to our shared history and collective memory.
