Czech fighter pilot gets a helping hand from his dog
It is July 1941 and Czech fighter pilots are marking the first anniversary of their service in the UK alongside the Royal Air Force, which has included intense air fighting during the Battle of Britain. Here, as a Czech pilot climbs into his Hurricane to go on patrol, his alsatian, Drak, sits, as he always does, on the port wing of the aircraft, carrying his master’s flying helmet and goggles
Gentlemen of the press show their mettle
A company of the 5th London (Press) Battalion of the Home Guard lines up in readiness for inspection in November 1943 before giving a demonstration of street fighting to members of a Kent unit of the Home Guard. ’Queenie’, the Press Battalion’s alsatian mascot, seems to be well drilled too. Elsewhere, the Red Army had just recaptured the city of Kiev and the RAF had begun intensive bombing of Berlin
