A historically accurate, high-quality black and white photograph from 1943. The scene is a bustling village hall in wartime Britain, decorated with Union Jack flags and a large banner reading, "Wings for Victory - Raise Funds for the RAF." The focus is on several pairs of dancers on a wooden floor. The main subjects are smartly dressed African American airmen in USAAF uniforms dancing with British women wearing fashionable 1940s floral print dresses. They are engaged in an energetic and joyous moment of the Lindy Hop (or Jitterbug/Swing dancing), characterized by dynamic movement, big smiles, and one pair caught in a mid-air 'breakaway' or 'swing-out' move. In the background, a small jazz band featuring a drummer and saxophone player is visible on a low stage. The atmosphere is warm, integrated, and full of the energy of an exciting, new dance style.
