Studies for 'Take Off': Cockpit Interior with Pilot and Co-Pilot (recto); Arm and Hand of Flight Engineer (verso) by Dame Laura Knight, charcoal on paper

Fine Art, In Storage, FA01182

Knight made these charcoal studies for her painting 'Take Off' (1943, Imperial War Museums), which represents a Stirling bomber crew preparing for flight. Based at RAF Mildenhall with No. 15 Squadron, Knight, who did not accompany the crew in flight, posed the men as if they were about to embark on a raid over Germany.

Studies for 'Take Off': The verso includes drawings of the pilots (Flight Lieutenant D.A. Stuart White and Flying Officer Kenneth John Bettles) and cockpit interior, including, on the right side, a parachute snap-hook., The artist's estate, Bridgeman Images / RAF Museum
