EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print from the WW2 era captures a tense moment between a commanding officer and a member of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (W. A. A. F.). The scene, set circa 1940, shows the commanding officer snarling towards the W. A. A. F., highlighting the intensity and pressure of wartime. The unattributed illustration is part of an annual volume, Volume 62 of Girls' Annuals, depicting a crucial aspect of women's involvement in World War II. The image brings to life the challenges faced by women serving in roles traditionally held by men during this tumultuous period. As tensions rise and emotions run high, this snapshot serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by all those who served their country during WWII. It showcases not only the bravery and dedication of these women but also sheds light on the complexities and dynamics within military hierarchies during wartime. Through this poignant illustration, we are transported back in time to witness a small yet significant moment in history that speaks volumes about resilience, determination, and strength in adversity. The March of Women Collection has preserved this piece as a testament to the courage and fortitude displayed by women on the frontlines of war.
