It pays tribute to the vital role of the 'Ack-Ack' gunners and searchlight operators in defending the British home front.

A MOMENT IN HISTORYBritain's Anti-Aircraft Command was responsible for defending the UK against air attack. During the V-1 flying bomb campaign of 1944 (the 'Second Blitz'), gun and searchlight batteries were repositioned to the coast of Southern England to intercept the 'doodlebugs' before they reached London. Women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) played a crucial role in these batteries, operating predictors, radar, and searchlights, freeing up men for combat roles and becoming an integral part of Britain's air defence.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LISTING DETAILS: MOUNTED PRINT ONLYPlease Read Carefully: This listing is for the original vintage magazine page, professionally mounted on a quality black art backboard as pictured, and ready for framing.
