Description
Photo Album has forty-eight black and white photographs, the photos with either a matte or gloss finish, all of which are original. One of the prominent photos is that of King George VI presenting medals to an airman beside a presentation table draped in the the Union Jack, with Queen Elizabeth among a group of officers standing behind the King, with multiple barracks in the background. Many photos are of airmen, at work and at rest, on the home front and in the European theatre, standing alone, or in groups, one airman standing in the snow in front of a steel shed, some with women, one on a bicycle, two airman in the cockpit of an aircraft, one with a single pilot in the cockpit. Another shows two airmen in Niagara Falls, Ontario with the Rainbow Bridge in the background. One 8 x 10 photo is loose in the album and gives prominence to a Training Command group of thirty-four officers, the photo entitled "Officers S.O.O. Branch No. 1 T.C., R.C.A.F. / November 7th, 1941", and lists the participants. Multiple photos are of aircraft, either on the ground or in flight, one of a destroyed enemy aircraft, while another is marked "Rare Photo of Wellington with In-Line Merlin Engines". Two other photos show a building with a garden, another of rail lines beside a river. Twelve photos emphasize the aftermath of air raids upon the Naval Yard at Wilhelmshaven, the city of Cologne showing the Cologne Cathedral with a destroyed bridge over the Rhine River in the distance, the Krupps factory in Essen, the Dortmund-Ems Canal, along with the scorched urban settlements of Bremen and Hamburg. Two are of German Single Seat Fighter Aircraft Identification Schematics, one of the Spitfire VII (Merlin), the other of the Messerschmitt Me 109F (D.B. 601), while another has the Bison Squadron coat-of-arms and is dated June 1944.
Also included are six Newspaper Photos of various aircraft, one of which is entitled "R.A.F. Lancaster Take Off to Blast Berlin Germany"; a Missing In Action Sympathy Card bearing the Canadian coat-of-arms and inscribed "To Mrs. Walter Alfred French / I have learned with deep regret that Pilot Officer Raymond Alfred French, R.C.A.F. has been reported missing. The Government and people of Canada join me in expressing the hope that more favourable news will be forthcoming in the near future.", signed by Colin Gibson, Minister of National Defence for Air (upon further research, J/19042 Flying Officer Raymond Alfred French, 405 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force, the son of of Walter A.
