Studies for 'Take Off': Pilot (recto); Navigator's Map and Equipment (verso) by Dame Laura Knight, charcoal on paper
Fine Art, In Storage, FA01181
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.
