On the 80th anniversary of VE Day, Historic England has released a collection of photographs celebrating the contributions of women photographers and filmmakers to the war effort.

Among those highlighted is Chapman, who worked on significant military films at Pinewood Studios, including 'The Big Pack' and 'Operational Height', which provided insight into RAF operations.

The magazine presents a visual journey through pivotal events, such as Adolf Hitler's rise, the Blitzkrieg attacks, and the emotional reunions during the chaos of war.

It captures various aspects of wartime life, from the struggles of evacuees to the contributions of Land Girls on the home front.

The collection also includes harrowing images from Auschwitz and the Normandy invasion, culminating in the celebrations of VE Day and VJ Day.

The publication concludes by marking the celebrations of VE Day on August 15, 1945, and VJ Day, which signified the end of hostilities in the Pacific.

Historic England is encouraging the public to share stories of women who served in the RAF Film Production Unit, with submissions invited until May 25, 2025.

Readers can preview the gallery of photographs and purchase the commemorative magazine through a designated website link.

Historic England emphasized that the films produced during the war were vital for maintaining public morale throughout the conflict.

After the war, little is known about the lives of women in the RAF Film Production Unit, but Chapman continued her photography career at various studios and the Science Museum in London.

The magazine also highlights the rigorous training program at the No. 2 School, where WAAF recruits learned to operate air cameras and process film under simulated combat conditions.

The magazine chronicles key wartime events, including the D-Day landings and the contrasting daily lives of citizens during the conflict.
