Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding & The WAAF Section Officer

The architect of Britain's aerial victory in 1940 was a career aviator who rose to become Commander-in-Chief of RAF Fighter Command and spearheaded the development of the British air defense network that gave the RAF a critical advantage during the Battle of Britain.
Here we see him making one of his regular visits to a typical operating room and being hailed by a young WAAF (Women's Auxiliary Air Force) Section Officer, the female equivalent of a male RAF 'Flying Officer'.
