"F/O Barry Mahon (left) and Fl Lt Seldon R Edner run to their aircraft as they are given the order to scramble. Both men are from California. The original caption states that enemy aircraft had appeared at 25,000 feet, seven miles south of the station, hence the need for action. American volunteer pilots of No 121 (Eagle) Squadron run to their aircraft at RAF Rochford in Essex, August 1942. IWM Photo - CH9521.
