EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Free French Air Force in Africa during World War II. Circa 1943, the image shows a line of Free French Air Force planes, including bombers, parked at an airstrip. The planes display the distinctive insignia of the Free French Air Force, featuring the Lorraine Cross, a symbol of the historical Duchy of Lorraine and a powerful symbol of French resistance during the war. The Free French Air Force was formed in 1940 by Charles de Gaulle, the Free French leader, as part of the Allied forces opposing the Axis powers. With its base in London, the Free French Air Force played a significant role in various campaigns, including the Libyan campaign of 1940-1943, where this photograph was likely taken. The Free French Air Force's involvement in the war was a crucial moment in French history, as it represented the continuation of the French military tradition despite the defeat of France in 1940. The planes in this photograph are a testament to the resilience and determination of the Free French forces, who fought for the liberation of France and the Allied cause. The insignia on the planes, with the Croix de Lorraine prominently displayed, symbolizes the unity and strength of the Free French forces in the face of adversity. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the Free French Air Force during the war and the important role they played in the eventual Allied victory.
