A Spotter in London (1940)
An Observer Corps Spotter on a rooftop in London (1940). The Royal Observer Corps (ROC) was a civil defense organization in the UK that ran from 1925 to 1996. Mostly ran by civilian volunteers, their task was to spot, track, and record aircraft over the country. The ROC's origins dates back since the Great War when the country experienced bombing raids from German zeppelins. They played an important role in WW2, notably the Battle of Britain, and was titled "Royal" by King George VI in 1941 for their service.
