EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant WW2 Christmas card, titled "So much owed by so many to so few," was designed by F. Gordon Crosby in 1941 during the height of the Battle of Britain. The card pays tribute to the heroic pilots of the Royal Air Force (RAF) who bravely defended the skies of Great Britain against the relentless attacks of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) throughout the war. The card features a striking image of a lone Spitfire aircraft soaring through a clear blue sky, dotted with white clouds. The plane's distinctive shape and the vibrant colors of the sky create a sense of hope and determination in the face of adversity. The ribbon at the bottom of the card bears the inscription "Merry Christmas," adding a touch of warmth and humanity to the image. The design of the card reflects the wartime spirit of the 1940s, with its simple yet powerful message of gratitude and appreciation for the bravery and sacrifice of the RAF pilots. The card was likely sent as a gesture of support and solidarity to loved ones, serving as a reminder of the importance of community and resilience in the face of hardship. The card's inscription, attributed to Winston Churchill, encapsulates the spirit of unity and determination that defined the British people during WW2. The phrase "So much owed by so many to so few" became a rallying cry for the British people, inspiring them to persevere in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. This WW2 Christmas card is a precious piece of ephemera and correspondence from the past, offering a glimpse into the wartime experience and the enduring spirit of the people who lived through it.
