Photographs by British soldier Donald Stone, who was part of the RAF's 203 Group, 1940-1944, headquartered in Khartoum. The album has 276 neatly mounted photographs, with captions, on both sides of 17 leaves, each with a tissue guard. Additionally, there are 23 loose photographs, including 19 photographs of British planes in an envelop. These military photographs of aircraft were strictly forbidden during the War years. Also there are 2 pieces of printed ephemera, including a menu for the 203 Group Xmas dinner in 1942, signed by the entire membership. An interesting album of people and places visited by this British airman throughout Egypt and the Sudan. Most of the photos are 2‑1/2" x 3-1/2" but many are larger. Laid-in is a three-page history of RAF Squadron 203. Very good with photographs in fine condition.
