Rare Second World War pictures go on sale for Bomber Command appeal
A collection of previously unpublished pictures by one of Britain's most famous war photographers is to be reproduced for the first time to raise money for the Bomber Command Memorial Appeal.
The pictures by Charles Brown vividly capture the essence of the RAF during the Second World War, ranging from candid images of airmen on operations to ground crew hard at work on maintenance and female WRAF drivers delivering bombs to aircraft.
The collection, which will be launched at the National Gift Fair in Birmingham on Monday, will initially include 24 black and white images that have been released for the first time by the RAF Museum in Hendon.
They will be available to buy as prints, postcards and greetings cards, with proceeds going toward the £2million appeal to build a long-overdue national memorial to the 55,000 airmen who died serving with Bomber Command during the war.
