EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Vertical Vista of Flying-Boats and Hangars at RAF Mount Batten, Plymouth Sound, Devon, UK, 1942" 2.. This evocative vertical aerial photograph captures the bustling activity at RAF Mount Batten in Plymouth Sound, Devon, UK, during the Second World War. The image, taken in 1942, reveals a panorama of flying-boats moored in the water, their wings and hulls gleaming in the sunlight. The distinctive shape of the hangars, with their sloping roofs designed to accommodate the amphibious aircraft, adds to the dynamic composition. 3. Background: RAF Mount Batten, located in the picturesque Plymouth Sound, was a vital airbase during the Second World War. The base was primarily used for the operation of flying-boats, which were essential for patrolling the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean, providing protection against enemy submarines and aircraft. The base was also used for anti-aircraft training and as a base for the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm. 4. Technique: The aerial perspective offers a unique and captivating view of the scene, allowing us to appreciate the scale and layout of the base. The vertical composition emphasizes the height and grandeur of the hangars, while the reflection of the aircraft in the water adds depth and texture to the image. The use of photography enhances the historical feel, transporting us back in time to this pivotal moment in history. 5. Legacy: This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Allied forces during the Second World War. The image not only showcases the technological advancements of the time but also highlights the importance of RAF Mount Batten in protecting the UK from external threats. Today, the site is a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich history of aviation and military heritage.
