EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld (1911-2004), Roland Beamont, and Frederick Page are seen together, standing next to a sleek and elegant aircraft. The year is 1941, and the trio are gathered at an airfield, likely in preparation for an important mission. Prince Bernhard, a Dutch prince and future husband of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, was an accomplished aviator and served as a pilot in the Dutch military during World War II. He had already proven his bravery and skill in the skies, having completed numerous sorties against the German forces occupying the Netherlands. Roland Beamont, a British subject, was a renowned test pilot and engineer, best known for his work on the development of the de Havilland Mosquito fighter-bomber. Beamont's expertise in designing and testing aircraft made him an invaluable asset to the Allied forces during the war. Frederick Page, an American, was a decorated pilot and aide-de-camp to Prince Bernhard. He had joined the Dutch military in exile and flew alongside the prince in various missions, demonstrating exceptional courage and determination. The aircraft in the background of the photograph is likely one of the de Havilland Mosquitoes that Beamont had helped design and test. These versatile planes were used extensively by the Allies for various roles, including fighter-bomber, photo reconnaissance, and maritime patrol. The camaraderie and shared sense of purpose between Prince Bernhard, Roland Beamont, and Frederick Page are palpable in this photograph. Their shared love of aviation and dedication to the Allied cause would lead them to play crucial roles in the outcome of the war.
