EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during the Second World War. In October 1943, at the edge of an airfield in mainland Southern Italy, we see a Kittybomber Curtiss P-40 plane belonging to Number 112 Squadron of the Royal Air Force. This particular squadron was famously known as the "Shark Squadron" and their distinctive nose art featuring a fierce shark can be seen proudly displayed on this aircraft. The image showcases the plane at dispersal on a football field, highlighting both its military might and its juxtaposition against everyday life. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of camaraderie and resilience amidst war. As Europe was embroiled in conflict, brave men like those from Number 112 Squadron risked their lives daily to protect their homeland. This image serves as a reminder of their dedication and sacrifice for freedom. With every detail meticulously captured by Official from Memory Lane Prints, this print transports us back to an era when bravery soared through the skies. It is a testament to the heroism exhibited by all those who served in the Royal Air Force during World War II - forever etching their names into history books as true defenders of liberty.
