Summary

Description
English: Black and white photograph of Billy Strachan (right) with his wife Joyce Smith (right). Billy Strachan was an accomplished Royal Air Force pilot during WWII who would later become a communist and one of the pioneers of black civil rights in Britain. This photograph is presumed to have been taken in 1942, as this was the date of the training crash that put him in crutches, and the year he married his first wife who is seen in this photograph.
Date Second World War (1939-1945)
