Study: Fighter Affiliation by Walter Thomas Monnington, graphite and ink on laid paper
Fine Art, In Storage, X008-9847
This sketch is one of several made in preparation for the painting 'Fighter Affiliation: Halifax and Hurricane', commissioned by the War Artists' Advisory Committee in 1943 (see L001-1755; LD 3770). A Fighter Affiliation exercise involved training bomber crews (in aircraft such as Halifaxes) to out-manoeuvre faster and more agile fighter aircraft, to prepare them for real-life situations of pursuit from enemy fighters. It enabled crews to practice positioning their turrets and gunsights, and make evasive manoeuvres, in response to attacks from challenging angles.
