A 3. 7 inch Anti aircraft gun and army unit in the Hull
A 3.7 inch Anti aircraft gun and army unit in the Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire of England during World War Two.
Anti-aircraft warfare or counter-air defence is defined by NATO as " all measures designed to nullify or reduce the effectiveness of hostile air action". They include surface based, subsurface (submarine launched), and air-based weapon systems, associated sensor systems, command and control arrangements and passive measures (e.g. barrage balloons). It may be used to protect naval, ground, and air forces in any location. However, for most countries the main effort has tended to be homeland defence.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints showcases a significant moment in the history of World War Two. The image captures an army unit alongside a formidable 3.7 inch Anti-aircraft gun, stationed in the Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire, England. During this tumultuous period, anti-aircraft warfare played a crucial role in defending against hostile air attacks. NATO defines it as encompassing various measures aimed at neutralizing or minimizing the effectiveness of enemy aerial action. These measures include surface-based weapons, submarine-launched systems, airborne weaponry, sensor systems, command and control arrangements, and passive defenses like barrage balloons. The photograph offers us a glimpse into the intense training and preparation undertaken by these brave soldiers to protect naval vessels, ground troops, and aircraft across the homeland. It serves as a poignant reminder of their unwavering dedication to safeguarding their country during one of its most challenging times. Taken circa August 1940 amidst the chaos of war-torn Europe, this image encapsulates both the spirit of resilience exhibited by these servicemen and women as well as their commitment to defense. As we reflect on this historical artifact today – with its unmistakable symbols of conflict such as guns and military personnel – let us remember those who selflessly fought for peace during World War Two.
