EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Spitfires soar over the Forth Bridge, intercepting German Heinkel IIIs during the first defensive aerial action of World War II. The image transports us back to October 1939, when Britain's skies were filled with the roar of engines and the tension of battle. The Forth Bridge stands stoically in the background, a symbol of British resilience in the face of enemy aggression. Against this iconic backdrop, Spitfires engage in a fierce aerial dogfight with their German adversaries. The sleek lines of these legendary aircraft are silhouetted against the sky, showcasing their agility and power. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought on both sides during this tumultuous time. The events captured in this photograph marked a turning point in the war effort, setting the stage for future battles on both the Western Front and beyond. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this historical moment for posterity, allowing us to reflect on the courage and determination displayed by all those involved. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past and serves as a tribute to those who fought valiantly for freedom and peace.
