- Synopsis
- Dennis Knight was a fighter pilot with the Royal Air Force. In March 1941, the Knight family was told that their only son Dennis was missing in action. That day, his sister wrote in her diary, I don't believe it! It is inconceivable.' Dennis was 19 when his plane went down on a patrol near Malta. Before he left, Dennis had told his mother, If anything happens to me, I should be most annoyed if you grieved for me. The family did mourn their loss, but they also found ways to keep Dennis' memory alive. Description of photograph This is a black and white photograph of young Dennis Knight in his RAF fighter pilot officer's uniform. It is a head and shoulders portrait of Dennis. He is smiling for the picture, but is looking out towards the left of the photograph past the camera. The background of the photograph is plain so that Dennis is the focus of the picture. He has short hair that is parted on the right-hand side. He is wearing a shirt with a tie and jacket. On the jacket, the first of the brass buttons is seen and the RAF wings badge above the left breast pocket. Tactile image details The image follows the detail of the photograph very carefully. The braille labels added are: side parting in hair, ear, eye, nose, lips and teeth, shirt collar, jacket collar, tie, RAF wings over top of pocket, and button.
