Dispersed in the back streets of Cairo is a whole little industry... c1942-1943, (1945)
Dispersed in the back streets of Cairo is a whole little industry, the maintenance units which renew and reassemble the aircraft brought back from the desert. This one was an empty timber yard; it became the first engine repair shop. Outside its doors hums the vivid, clamorous life of native Cairo, c1942-1943, (1945). From " R.A.F. Middle East - The Official Story of Air Operations, Feb. 1942 - Jan. 1943". [His Majestys Stationery Office, London, 1945]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Cairo during the years 1942-1943. Dispersed among the backstreets of this vibrant city is a hidden industry, dedicated to maintaining and reviving aircraft that have returned from the desert. In this particular image, we are transported to an empty timber yard which has been transformed into the first engine repair shop. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the hum of activity emanating from outside its doors. The vivid and clamorous life of native Cairo provides a stark contrast to the focused work happening within these walls. It is a testament to both British ingenuity and collaboration with local craftsmen. Amidst all this commotion, our attention is drawn towards a group of individuals who play their part in keeping these machines airborne. Men and women alike can be seen working diligently on various aspects of aircraft maintenance, each contributing their unique skills to ensure successful repairs. The presence of children adds an unexpected touch of innocence amidst this backdrop of war machinery. Their curiosity seems undeterred by the surrounding chaos as they observe with wide-eyed wonderment. This photograph captures not only a moment in history but also reflects themes such as resilience, unity, and adaptability during times of conflict. It serves as a reminder that even amid turmoil, life continues - people go about their daily routines while striving towards a common goal: victory for their nation in World War II.
