EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a formation of Hawker Hind bombers of 18 Squadron, Royal Air Force (RAF), take to the skies over an airfield during the interwar period. Taken by renowned aviation photographer Charles E. Brown, the image captures the raw power and determination of the RAF as it prepared for potential conflict. The Hawker Hind, a twin-engine, single-seat bomber, was a key component of the RAF's strategic bombing capability in the late 1930s. With a top speed of 205 miles per hour and a range of over 700 miles, the Hind was a formidable aircraft for its time. The squadron, based at RAF Hawkinge in Kent, is seen here in a tight formation, each pilot focused intently on the task at hand. The pilots wear the distinctive blue and silver uniforms of the RAF, with their helmets and goggles at the ready. In the background, ground crew can be seen working on the ground, ensuring that the aircraft are in top condition for their next mission. The photograph captures the sense of urgency and purpose that defined the RAF during this period. The interwar years saw the expansion of the RAF's air power, as it prepared for the possibility of conflict in Europe. The Hind, with its impressive capabilities, was a crucial part of this effort. Despite the ominous clouds gathering on the horizon, the pilots of 18 Squadron remain resolute, their determination unwavering. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and dedication of the RAF during this period, and the vital role that the Hawker Hind played in shaping the future of military aviation.
