EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the officers, NCOs, and men of No.24 Squadron RAF in France during November 1918, as they stand proudly before their fleet of transport planes. The date, 29th November, marks the final days of the First World War, with the signing of the Armistice just a few short weeks away. The squadron's aircraft, a mix of Avro 504K and Airco DH.4 types, are arranged neatly in the background, their wings gleaming in the sunlight. The men, dressed in their uniforms, display a sense of camaraderie and pride, having played a crucial role in the transport of troops and supplies during the war effort. The officers, with their stern expressions and military bearing, oversee the scene with a sense of authority and determination. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the RAF during the final stages of the war, a time of both triumph and transition. With the end of the conflict on the horizon, these men and their planes would go on to play a vital role in the occupation forces and the eventual repatriation of troops. This image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the RAF during the First World War and the important role they played in shaping the course of history.
