VE Day: Die Rolle der Frau in Kriegszeiten in Bildern des Women’s Auxiliary Air Force Corps der britischen Luftwaffe
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
To coincide with the 80th anniversary of VE Day an archive of rare wartime photographs has been released documenting the pivotal but often overlooked role of women in military filmmaking during the Second World War.
Published by Historic England to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the collection – curated by Dorothy ‘Knicky’ Chapman – captures the life and work of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) photographers, offering a rare glimpse into the secretive world of wartime film production at Pinewood Studios.
Chapman was among the first cohort of women trained at the No. 2 School of Photography in Blackpool, later serving at RAF Iver Heath – the wartime name for Pinewood Studios. There, she played a key role in the RAF Film Production Unit (RAFFPU), working on military films and documenting both training and operations.
Duncan Wilson, Chief Executive of Historic England, said: “As we mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, this remarkable collection commemorates the unsung heroes of the Second World War and sheds light on the history of wartime filmmaking. The photographs provide rare insight into a lesser-known aspect of our wartime heritage, from the crucial role of Pinewood Studios to the pioneering women of the WAAF.”
The archive contains over 150 photographs, many never seen before, showing behind-the-scenes moments from Chapman’s time at Pinewood as well as candid scenes from her WAAF training. Among them are images of model aircraft being built for film sets, RAF and WAAF personnel at work, and members of the photographic and film units capturing vital footage used to inform the public and bolster international support for the Allied war effort.
Pinewood Studios served as a base for several key wartime film units, including the RAFFPU and the Army Film and Photographic Unit (AFPU). These units produced powerful propaganda films, newsreels and training materials – including coverage of major events such as *** Local Cap

Chapman was among the first cohort of women trained at the No. 2 School of Photography in Blackpool, later serving at RAF Iver Heath – the wartime name for Pinewood Studios. There, she played a key role in the RAF Film Production Unit (RAFFPU), working on military films and documenting both training and operations.
Duncan Wilson, Chief Executive of Historic England, said: “As we mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, this remarkable collection commemorates the unsung heroes of the Second World War and sheds light on the history of wartime filmmaking. The photographs provide rare insight into a lesser-known aspect of our wartime heritage, from the crucial role of Pinewood Studios to the pioneering women of the WAAF.”
The archive contains over 150 photographs, many never seen before, showing behind-the-scenes moments from Chapman’s time at Pinewood as well as candid scenes from her WAAF training. Among them are images of model aircraft being built for film sets, RAF and WAAF personnel at work, and members of the photographic and film units capturing vital footage used to inform the public and bolster international support for the Allied war effort.
Pinewood Studios served as a base for several key wartime film units, including the RAFFPU and the Army Film and Photographic Unit (AFPU). These units produced powerful propaganda films, newsreels and training materials – including coverage of major events such as *** Local Cap
