SUMMARY:Forgotten Force: Art & Memory
DESCRIPTION:Forgotten Force was an oral history project by the Piłsudski Institute of London giving first-hand evidence of the past by audio and video recording stories of Polish women survivors of the Second World War who have been residing in the UK for the past seventy years. To help bring these stories to life the Institute invited a London based artist and art conservator\, Zofia Wyszomirska-Noga\, to interpret the assembled tales and translate them to image. \nEphemeral\, monochromatic\, charcoal drawings that define the distant memory of a dramatic journey. Marbled paper bursting with splashes of colour embedded in the background; droplets of the past reimagined through an artist’s compassionate eye. Mothers shielding their children\, railway tracks\, snowy landscapes and angels emerge from the work of Zofia Wyszomirska-Noga to find a way into our hearts and memories. \n \nTemporary Exhibition Gallery. \nIncluded in Museum Admission and Membership.

SUMMARY:Friday Morning Talks: Air Power and the evacuation of Dunkirk: The RAF and Luftwaffe during Operation Dynamo - With Dr Harry Raffal
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Friday morning talk\, where RAF Museum Head of Collections and Research Dr Harry Raffal will be taking us through the use of airpower during the evacuation of Dunkirk\, Operation Dynamo. \nTaking place on the 83rd anniversary of the first day of the evacuation\, Harry will draw on the research presented in his book ‘Air Power and the evacuation of Dunkirk’\, to examine how the evacuation of Dunkirk has been immortalised in books\, prints and films\, narrated as a story of an outnumbered\, inexperienced RAF defeating the battle-hardened Luftwaffe and protecting the evacuation. This book revives the historiography by analysing the air operations during the evacuation. Harry draws from German and English sources\, many for the first time in the context of Operation DYNAMO\, to argue that both sides suffered a defeat over Dunkirk. . This work examines the resources and tactics of both sides during DYNAMO and challenges the traditional view that the Luftwaffe held the advantage. The success that the Luftwaffe achieved during DYNAMO\, including halting daylight evacuations on 1 June\, is evaluated and the supporting role of RAF Bomber and Coastal Command is explored in detail for the first time. Concluding that the RAF was not responsible for the Luftwaffe’s failure to prevent the evacuation\, Harry demonstrates that the reasons lay elsewhere. \n \n  \nThis talk will take place onsite in the Museum’s Learning Centre and is included in Museum admission or Annual Membership. \nAdvance booking required – please reserve your seat via the link below. \nReserve Your Place
