Collection Details War’s “Most Daring Flight”
A rare photo archive that documents what was called World War II’s “Most Daring Flight” is soon to be auctioned, reports the UK newspaper, The Mail. The collection of photos documents Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s 1942 crossing of the Atlantic following a conference with U.S. President Roosevelt. Churchill’s plane was dogged by the Luftwaffe and his own Fighter Command before he returned safely to London. The photos have been in private hands since the flight, some 70 years ago.
