Battle of Britain
“Above the Kent coast, September 15, 1940. A Spitfire banks tight onto a formation of Heinkel He 111s. Foreground shows the pilot's face under his Mae West, throttle and gun-button under gloved fingers; midground reveals tracer arcing into the lead bomber and a parachute opening; the Channel glints below behind a sky striped with white contrails over patchwork fields.”
