Description |
English: Royal Air Force Operations in the Middle East and North Africa, 1939-1943. Sergeant Pilot F H Dean of No. 274 Squadron RAF examines belts of .303 ammunition before they are installed in his aircraft at Sidi Barrani, Egypt. In the background, one of the groundcrew attaches a trolley-accumulator to Hawker Hurricane Mark I, P2638, sporting the yellow lightning flash emblem (later changed to blue) which became 274 Squadron's unofficial insignia at about this time. Sergeant Dean was shot down and killed on 15 May 1941, when his section of Hurricanes fought with Messerschmitt Bf 109s near Halfaya at the start of Operation BREVITY. |

Licensing[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
