EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Douglas B-18A Bolo, a vital aircraft used by the US Army's 27th Reconnaissance Squadron during World War II. The Bolo, a variant of the Douglas DB-7 bomber, was a versatile aircraft that saw service both with the US military and the Royal Canadian Air Force. In this image, we see several men gathered around the Bolo, with Mark Cutmore, Andy Offer, and an unidentified officer standing in the foreground. The men appear to be in the process of filming the aircraft, likely for documentation or training purposes. The Bolo, with its distinctive nose art and tail markings, sits proudly on the tarmac, its engines idling, ready for takeoff. The Douglas B-18A Bolo was a valuable asset for offshore patrols, providing long-range reconnaissance capabilities and the ability to drop sonobuoys to detect underwater enemy submarines. The aircraft was also used for transport and bombing missions. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was at war. The Douglas B-18A Bolo, with its historic significance and impressive design, continues to captivate aviation enthusiasts and historians alike. This image is a testament to the bravery and innovation of the men and women who served in the US Army Air Force and the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II.
