Description |
English: Royal Air Force- 2nd Tactical Air Force, 1943-1945. Half-length portrait of Group Captain J E Rankin, when leader of No. 125 Wing RAF. Having begun the war as an instructor, Rankin was given the command of No. 64 Squadron RAF in 1941, leaving that unit in August 1941 with a score of at least 14 victories. Then, in two tours leading the Biggin Hill Wing (separated by a spell as wing commander in charge of training at No. 11 Group of Fighter Command from December 1941 to April 1942) he increased his score to 21. He was promoted to Group Captain in 1944 and led 125 Wing of No. 83 Group RAF into Europe. |

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. |
