In celebration of the 80th anniversary of VE Day, check out this fascinating collection of photographs capturing the pioneering role of women in military photography during the Second World War. 🖼️

The collection was put together by Dorothy ‘Knicky’ Chapman, who was part of the first intake of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force at the No. 2 School of Photography in Blackpool before being posted to the famous Pinewood Studios, the central hub of military filmmaking.
